Welcome, Steve.
First, please use a descriptive subject for all posts, including "AIR", if you think that might be signficant. There is too much traffic on this list for anyone to read all posts, so we choose what to read based on the subject. Subjects like "HELP ME!!!" and "URGENT!!!", and even "Newbie Question" stand a good chance of being skipped. Now, for your question, I do not use AIR much yet, but generally, you need to use a result handler on your data call. That function will be called when your data returns, and you can then do whatever you need with it. Are you using RemoteObject to make the call? All the of the RPC protocols support the result event.

I'll apologize upfront for asking the dumb and obvious questions, but I'm still going to ask them :P So here's a description of what I'm doing and my question. I built an Air app with Flex 3 that posts some form data to a remote cfm file. The cfm file then returns a string. If I watch the app running in the Flex Builder 3 debug perspective I can see the string that's returned. My question is this. How do I get that string and make it available to another function? I want to use the returned string in another post method in the same app. If more details are required I can give them, just holler :-) and Thanks in advance. ~Steve http://lanctr.com/ __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3049 (20080423) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com <http://www.eset.com>
