I am facing a strange behavior while coding in PHP with Flex. Let me explain the situation:
I have two funcions lets say:
populateTable() //puts some data in a table made with flex
createXML() //creates an xml file which is used by Fusion Charts to create a chart
Now, if i call populateTable() alone, the table gets populated with data but if i call it with createXML(), the table doesn't get populated but createXML() does it's work i.e. creates an xml file.
Even if i run following code, only xml file gets generated but table remains empty whereas i called populateTable() before createXML(). Any idea what may be going wrong?
MXML Part
<mx:HTTPService id="userRequest" url="request.php" method="POST" resultFormat="e4x">
<mx:request xmlns="">
<getResult>send</getResult>
</mx:request>
and
<mx:DataGrid id="dgUserRequest" dataProvider="{userRequest.lastResult.user}" x="28.5" y="36" width="525" height="250" >
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="No." dataField="no" />
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="
Name" dataField="
name"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Age" dataField="age"/>
</mx:columns>
