Turns out I was missing a crossdomain.xml file on my webserver, making XML unreachable there. Live and learn.

I was able to view data in the grid. If its just the xml not showing up them have them try and view the xml directly. If its the SWF not looking make sure they have FP9 of course.

Your polling data from your own domain so crossdomain security is not an issue.

Good luck,

I created a simple XML reader in Flex 2 myself ( http://paulkarpenko.com/flash/LRDb.swf ) and while the swf works from the machine I created it on (opening the URL, seeing the data in the grid) .. almost nobody else can see the data that should be in the grid.

Do you know if this something to do with HTTPService or Flex 2 or what?

Simple as other XML applications. Its XML, all the processing on the backend is the same.

Do you have any experience with xml updates?
How easy is it to build HTTPService based flex2 apps that actually update data in a database using xml (sqlxml)?

Thanks
