Hi,
We all know about PHP's ability to send an array through the $_POST

But how can I achieve that through Flex's HTTPService?
If I were to print_r($_POST) in the PHP page, this is would

I know that if you try to add the same component to one container
after another, it will remove it from the previous container and add
it to the next. To achieve what you're looking for, you need to clone
it then add it. You might have already known this, but that sounds
like the problem to me.
