The difference between setting up Drupal Services for a Flex 3 project and for an Air project is a few slight modifications. Using my tutorial for connecting a Flex project with Services and making the changes below will get Air connected with Drupal Services.
- You will need to create an Air project instead of a Flex project in the initial setup in Flex Builder (WindowedApplication vs. Application)
- If you did not give the services-config.xml a full path to Drupal Services for the endpoint uri you will need to do that (http://www.mydomain.com/services/amfphp)
That’s it, 2 steps. Air is up and working.

vanitha,
did you also change your service domain when you moved from a web app to an air app? This is in the service module setup.

vanitha,
When you go to the services module in drupal does the view.get method appear in the list of options? If not you may need to activate this option in the modules list. This should populate the datagrid as well because the datagrid is tied to the views return. Not sure about the new user creation. Do you have any information on what is happening with send and return info? Inserting trace statements may help to track down some info.

thank u erik,
sry for late reply, i just went out…
view.get method is enabled in my website.It shows the view details when i give a view name. But in application it does not show in the database.
I just explain how the entire program works for me here…
initially when i register some user, it creates new user in the db without user name, pwd and mailid. after tat i just edit tat user details directly in the database. then i can save the node from the application. the node which is saved thru application is having the uid which was created by the application only.
Can u just explain me the “register button” functionality in the application.
whether it will save the new user details or it will login for node saving?
Clear me pls!!!
thank u!!!!!

hi erik,
In ur example, when i click register button, it creates one new user.Then, when i save a node, it has the uid which was created by the application itself.
i want only to login with some username password which was already in database and want to upload data. i dont want to create new user.
Is there any way to do tat? I am in urgent need of that…
So pls help me as early as possible…
Thank u

vanitha,
The user login is started when the user register results are returned. You would just need to move the login out of the result handler and execute when you would need it (probably on a form submission), it is looking for a user name and password

erik,
i used the following code in the node saving function
var hashedArray:Array = hashKey(“user.login”);
user.login(hashedArray[0],hashedArray[1],hashedArray[2],hashedArray[3],sessionID,usernameInput.text,passwordInput.text);
i put the above code in the node saving function but when i save node it, it is saved with the “uid = 0″. It is also not visible in the website.
What might be the reason?
thank u
