Hey my bad, I just found out I was not instantiating my AxisObject class correctly on the flex side. So I can pass the variables find now. However I would still like to figure out how to turn on the warning messages in the config files so that in the future I can hopefully catch mistakes like this much quicker. If you have time and could post maybe a more complete sample along with which files you need to update, I'd appreciate it.
