Adobe AIR Development

Hi, everybody.

I'm trying to access global URL using HTTPService. 

<s:HTTPService result="handlePlain(event);"
				   fault="handleFault(event);"
				   id="plainRPC"
				   resultFormat="text"
				   url="http://examples.adobe.com/flex3/exchangingdata/text/plainHttpService.php"
				   useProxy="false">
		<mx:request xmlns="">
			<zipcode>
				{zipcode.text}
			</zipcode>
			<pounds>
				{weight.text}
			</pounds>
		</mx:request>
	</s:HTTPService>

 If Launch method in Run configurations is "on Desktop" - everything is Ok.

But when I'm trying to do same things with Launch method "on Device" (I'm using simulator) - I have HTTP request error...

Could you help me with resolving this problem?

I don't use any IDE so I can't help much, but it might help if you could post more information about the error.

Is there an error number, or more text than just "HTTP request error" ?  Usually that is helpful for getting an answer from the people who actually know.

Things that might help:

1. make sure the simulator is in Development Mode (with the little hammer icon showing)
2. make sure you are using the correct address for the simulator
3. let us know more about your configuration, specifically NAT vs. Bridged networking in VMware, and possibly what plaform you're using (Win, Mac, versions of stuff)

Thank you

To see the result I use this:

public function handlePlain(event:ResultEvent):void
{
    shippingOptions.text = event.result.toString();
}
			
public function handleFault(event:FaultEvent):void
{
    shippingOptions.text = event.fault.faultString;
}

 And I have no error number in output message.

My simulator is in Development mode, in VMware settings I use bridged networking (I tried to use NAT - the same result), I use correct IP address for the simulator, so I have no problem with connection between Flash Builder and simulator.

I am using Windows XP.

As I said before, I have no problems with this little program when my Run or Debug configuration is "on Desktop" and target device to simulate BlackBerry Playbook.

Of course I can test my application "on Desktop", but now I try to understand if I can do it "on Device" either not....

Thank you for your advices

Was that adobe URL that you posted above the actual one you are trying to use?  This sounds like a case where if you give us the full info, anyone else can try it and reproduce the problem...

[Oluka]

Yes, I try to access exactly that adobe URL.

If you are using Flashbuilder to debug try tuning off the network monior in the debug view. This fixed the issue when I saw it:
