Flash Island: Get varibles from Flex into SAP

Question

Hello,
I am trying to get the content of a variable from an Flash Island into SAP. I am using :
FlashIsland.fireEvent(this, "add");
in order to fire the event in SAP which is working well. But I also have a variable which content I want to send to SAP. I am using:
FlashIsland.storeProperty(this , "ERGEBNIS", Ergebnis);
which is not working. "ERGEBNIS" should be the name of the context attribute in SAP, Ergebnis is the name of the variable in flex.
In my FlashIsland I have a GACEVENT called add which triggers the ACTION ADD and a GACPROPERTY called ERGEBNIS with the value FLASH.ERGEBNIS.
My problem is to get the value of Ergebnis from FLEx to SAP.
regards
stefan

The storeProperty should work.  I've got an application that uses that very technique and it is working just fine.  Make sure that your name usage is mapping properly.  For instance here is my applicatoin:
I have a textField.  I register a function for the change event of the textField. In this function I copy the current value back with the storeProperty function:
public function changeText():void
               if (!RTE.htmlText == ""){
              var l_text:String;
                    l_text = RTE.htmlText.valueOf()
                    l_text = cleanHTML(l_text);
               FlashIsland.storeProperty(this, "RichText", l_text );
Now RichText is the name of the public variable that I am exposing to the Island. It is not the name of the context attribute in WDA. Inside of WDA I have a GACProperty with a name of RichText and a value bound to a context attribute named HTML_TEXT.
If this still doesn't work for you (although it should) consider passing the value back as an event parameter instead of via the context. You can pack event parameters directly into the fireEvent function and then they can be read from within your ABAP event handler method:
     FlashIsland.fireEvent(this, "newSel", {newLS:coverflow.selectedIndex});
