IE Flex bug?

Question

I'm new to Flex and still learning (SORRY FOR THE LONG POST
but its a strange scenario). I have a very strange issue happening
thats really been bothering me. I've setup Flex to correctly map to
my ColdFusion RDS development server. I followed the instructions
to use the CF/Flex Wizard and am able to create a simple CRUD app.
In the example they use the artists DB (which is microsoft access).
I'm using an Oracle DB. I correctly map out 3 pages... 2 master and
1 detail. When I compile and run the app... it appears to work
fine. I can drill into an employee... see their multiple comp
plans, and then there is that edit button to edit the detail page
(or double-clicking of the row). This is where it sometimes works
and it sometimes doesn't! The edit page will sometimes show the
information and other times it will not load anything! If I click
on the Edit button 10 times... the data will load 4/10 times, other
times it won't at all. In FireFox the app works perfect. IE 6 and 7
is having this issue. It's almost as if the selectedItem is not
passing the primary key to the details page everytime. I found that
if I click on an item and wait 10-15 seconds and then click edit it
will usually work everytime. Also, I have Trusted Cache OFF in my
CF admin settings... but I find that clearing template cache right
before I click edit will also have it work nearly every time. This
is really bothering me and seems like some sort of bug! I can't
figure out if its a Flex, CF, IE, or an Oracle one though. This
simple app will determine if my company will purchase Flex
licenses, so if we can't rely on the data pulling everytime we will
not purchase it (but I'd love to figure this out so I can make the
case). Please Help.

I don't know about anyone else who posts here, but usually
when I come to
this forum to try to help people I am very tired and burnt
from coding all
day, and I am just not able to make my eyes make sense of
text written with
no paragraph breaks. Maybe I can help you, maybe I can't, but
I just am not
able to read your post.
