Bingo! Thank you!
I was just researching what [object AsyncToken] means and found an article referring to the AsyncToken not firing. Unfortunately, they didn't have an answer... So what you are saying is falling in line with what I am starting to see here. What causes the result event to fire/how can I force this to fire? ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 12:17 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: {Disarmed} RE: [flexcoders] Re: AS3 function returning true when it only can be false If " authManager.userStatus();" is a web service operation/method, then the call is asynchronous. All you are testing is the existence of the userStatus method on the authManager object. You can't access your result until the result event fires.

For some reason, flex isn't updating its code properly. I have run into this but never found the root cause or easy fix. I just recreated the application and continued on. I've had times where flex will lock open a file and it will not update and I'm forced to reboot the computer. (I did try that as well). I know when that happens though, when I hit project->clean I get an error that a file is open. I've closed everything off that I can see running on the computer but the file still remains open. The only way I found to clear that up is rebooting the computer (which is very annoying). Another thing I'm seeing right now is that when I select a break point and debug the application, the program moves the break point to a location a few lines down. So it looks like it may be out of sync. It does this every where I try setting a break point. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Ralf Bokelberg Sent: Monday, July 14, 2008 10:36 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: AS3 function returning true when it only can be false The compiler might have issues, but it seems to work pretty well most of the time. I'm using it for years on a daily base. I have never used Coldfusion though, so i cannot say anything about the interface between Flex and Coldfusion. Anyways, a simple trace statement should give you clarity about what is going on. Good luck, Ralf.
