[Flashticle] Digging into this project, with a bug.

[Jos Yule]

Hey, just SVN'ed the source, got Turbogears setup, running your code. 
I'm having the same problems Ben was having (in the mailing list archive 
: http://osflash.org/pipermail/flashticle_osflash.org/2006-May/000009.html).

It seems that the auto-magic reformatting of the output (and input i'd 
guess) is being lost. I can actually go to the following url:

http://localhost:8080/gateway/HelloWorld/sayHello

and get the following back (in the browser):

Hello from TurboGears!

Just that text.

When i run the 'HelloWorld' demo file, i get this trackback from the 
server (in the cmd window):

I'm happy to poke around, but i've not used TurboGears, and my CherryPy 
knowledge is pretty rusty - i was using it at 2.0.Anyone have any 
suggestions for where to start? Anybody using flashticle with the latest 
version of TG (9a8)?

Thanks!
