It looks like it doesn't like the dashes in your parameters. Everyone seems to be moving away from dashes to underscores and camelcase (e.g. - 'display_order' and 'displayOrder').
If you have to have dashes, then you'll most likely need to go to a full AS3 request object (no mxml): var urlVar : URLVariables = new URLVariables(); urlVar["created-at"] = ""; urlVar["display-order"] = ""; urlVar["ecms"] = ecmsTI.text; urlVar["name"] = nameTI.text; urlVar["job-id"] = ""; urlVar["updated-at"] = ""; myService.request = urlVar; - Kevin --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Clinton D.
