Please help me.

Answer 1

you may have a look at

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Part4_data_access_1.html

and read from there to see, what you need for your kinf od request (HTML, XML).

in short, you have to have some dataservice (f.e. mx:HTTPService) and appropriate methods (send) and connect them with your controls

EDIT: system time: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=08_Dates_and_times_3.html

Answer 2

Thanks for your reply. I have done what u r saying. Have a look.

<mx:request xmlns="">
  <sysdatetime>{sysdatetime}</sysdatetime>
 </mx:request>

AT the server,

echo "GET: ".$_GET['sysdatetime'];

I have called it like, creationComplete="test.send();"

sysdatetime gives me current date time of client system. But at the server, i am not getting it.

Here's an example of how to pass an object using the HTTPService's send() method. Just wrap your Date object and pass it via a send() call.
