[swx] Problem sending data: [object Object]

[Joe L]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply.
Actually, I'm using Wireshark to sniff what's being sent - that's how I know
that the data is missing from the request.
And I've used trace() to verify that the data object passed as a parameter
to "_root.senddata()" actually does contain the info I want to submit
- so I'm thinking perhaps it's a configuration problem? Maybe SWX requires
specific options to be set when exporting to SWF? (I'm using Flash Player 8
+ ActionScript 2.0 now).

Oh, I also have this in the code:
_root.elementi.Formform.dataHolder.serviceClass = "ServiceName";
_root.elementi.Formform.dataHolder.method = "sendMail";
_root.elementi.Formform.dataHolder.debug = false;

Any ideas?

Best regards,

JL
