A Beginner Question

Hi Rob, vars you declare within a function are only available within that function. here is a simple example of how to pass the information: private function doSearch():void {     remoteService.getSearch(); } ... <mx:RemoteObject       id="remoteService"    <---name changed to make it clearer       destination="ColdFusion"       source="vo.getSearch"       showBusyCursor="true"       fault="errorHandler(event)">     <mx:method  name="getSearch" result="handleSearchResult(event)">         <mx:arguments>             <typer>{searchType.text}</typer>             <s1> {ss1.text}</s1>        </mx:arguments>     </mx:method> </mx:RemoteObject> ... <mx:formItem label="Search Type:">     <mx:TextInput id="searchType" /> </mx:formItem > <mx:formItem label="Search String:">     <mx:TextInput id="ss1" /> </mx:formItem> ... <mx:Button label="Search" click="doSearch()" > > thanks Bob, > I have added the logging and your method of passing the vars to the CFC > and > I am getting nothing passed to the CFC.  Should I have to create a handler > to do that form transformation?  or is there a way to reference the form > vars directly...
