Flex application embedded in a PDF performing a LC call

Question

Hi,
I have a Flex application that is embedded in a PDF as a navigator which is supposed to invoke LiveCycle application deployed on a weblogic server using SOAP endpoint. The web service call seems to work fine if I run it from Flash Builder but once it’s inside a PDF, it would appear that the web service call is not reaching the application deployed on the Document Service server. The same application, however, does work if the server is deployed on JBoss.
I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on how I should go about troubleshooting.
Thanks, Lilliam.

Hi,
Creating a new project it's
- File -> New -> Flex Project
- Application Type -> Desktop
Setting this will create the descriptor file and create the WindowedApplication as the root. This application will startup in a native os window.
Here is an example of creating a simple os child window;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:WindowedApplication xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                       xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
                       xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import spark.components.Window;
            protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
                var window:Window = new Window();
                window.title = "Hello Window";
                window.width = 200;
                window.height = 200;
                window.open();
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:Button label="Open Window"
              click="button_clickHandler(event)"/>
</s:WindowedApplication>
The documentation will guide you the rest of the way.
