I just wrote a quick HTTP Service that works fine without the Proxy:

showBusyCursor="true" url="http://ecs.amazonaws.com/onca/xml" method="POST" resultFormat="e4x" result="itemSearchResult(event)">

Brendon,

What url are you using to access the AWS?

This helps if you’re using the proxy, but what if you’re simply using the WebService MXML tag directly, as opposed to using the Import Web Service option? For example:

{amazonDeveloperId}

{itemId}
{idType}
{searchIndex}
ItemAttributes,Images,Tracks,EditorialReview

Amazon has a crossdomain.xml file, so this should simply work. In fact, it DID work until Flash 9,0,124,0. Any ideas?

Hi Nell,

It goes in the proxy-config.xml file in your LCDS server. If you use the standard set up, you’ll find it at:

[your drive]\[your LCDS folder]\jrun4\servers\default[or your project folder]\flex\WEB-INF\flex

Hope that helped.
