[Property(name="_siteID", type="String")] // What Is THIS?Whoops, forgot to take that out. I came across the "metadata" section in the documentation, and thought that might be my problem - that I needed to tell the compiler about my new property. I tried the above and it didn't make any difference, and then I moved on to try something else... Thanks for the response!

Are you dead ending the : HTTPService(rootURL:String = null) signature? If not, your super needs to look like super(rootURL:String = null); Peace, Mike On 3/16/06, revanisle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi all, Thanks for all the replies to my previous posts. You guys are really helping me learn this stuff. Hopefully by the time Flex2 ships I'll be able to start to give back too... OK. I'm trying to actually start using my own packages and classes. I've created a new class that extends HTTPService and simply adds one new property: package com.jbe.picfindr { import mx.rpc.http.HTTPService; [Property(name="_siteID", type="String")] public class pfHTTPService extends HTTPService { public function pfHTTPService() { super(); public var _siteID:String = ""; public function get siteID() { return _siteID; } public function set siteID(value:uint) { _siteID = value; } } } } This file is called pfHTTPService.as and it lives in a folder called com.jbe.picfindr, which shows up as a package in Flex code hints. When I go to create a new instance in an actionscript block (which includes the line "import com.jbe.picfindr.pfHTTPService;", I get "not a compile time constant" and "trying to access possibly undefined method" errors. I instatiate it like this: var service:pfHTTPService = new pfHTTPService(); Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
