Necuima Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi Larry, I am trying to learn about ajax features in Flex and am in chapter 8. The examples look good! I have created and populated the database (MySQL) and have tested the php script getEmployees.php in my browser and it works fine. I can see that it has created the XML response data OK. But when I try and run the application from within FlashBuilder as per page 251 (CTRL+F11) nothing happens. I created the new flex project as a windowed application - could that be the problem? I also tried to run it in debug mode (F11) but also nothing happens that I can see. As always, any advice will be muchly appreciated. Thanks, Necuima. P.S., I have now created the app as not a windowed application and it ran perfectly. Can I make changes so that it will work as a windowed app? If so, what do I need to change? Again, any advice will be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Creating it as a windowed application can definitely be the problem, although I expect not because it's a windowed application but because the path to the Ajax resource ends up being wrong. That's what I would investigate first. Whenever I make big changes to a Flex app that uses services, I often have problems with accessing the resources.

Necuima Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi Larry, Mmmm - I am using the same URL as in the browser app - <s:HTTPService id="getEmployeesService" url="http://localhost/Flex_CH08/getEmployees.php" In the project's properties I have selected PHP in the Flex Server category and the web root and URL validate OK. I am a bit of a 'babe in the woods' with this so far! Again, any advice/suggestions will be muchly appreciated. Cheers, Necuima. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necuima Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi again, Larry, It works just fine if you tell FlashBuilder that it is a windowed application!!! Previously I had just copied the code and created the app as a windowed app without changing the opening and closing app tags in the mxml!! Sorry to have bothered you!! Cheers, Necuima has learnt something else today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
