Here are some tips on troubleshooting from the client side, data request issues via network calls that may be failing for you:
In main the flex application add the TraceTarget component which will log client side networking calls (in and out) to the flashlog.txt
Basically just add this to your flex app anywhere in the main mxml page:
Then when you run the flex app, if you are running in the debug Flash Player (which you can check here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507), you will generate info in the flashlog.txt (which on windows should be located here: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash Player\Logs\)
If you don’t have the debug Flash Player you can get it from here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
(Note you can upgrade to a higher version# of the flash player, but if you are trying to install debug player with the same version number over top of the release player, that won’t work. You’ll have to uninstall the Flash Player first. The uninstaller can be found here:
