I'm using the AS3 SWC from Flex and trying to save some app data as follows: 

            var dr:MSDataRequest = opensocial.newDataRequest() as MyOpenSpace.MSDataRequest;
            dr.add(dr.newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest('VIEWER', "key","value"));
            dr.send(onUpdateData);

but this always seems to return an error in the response.  I'm assuming this has something to do with this request using PUT, which apparently Flash does not provide unless you're using a server based proxy...?

Does this mean I'm SOL if I want to use Flex and the app data store?   Or is there a workaround I can use to make this work?

Thanks...

William. 

You can implement your own HttpClient using sockets which supports PUT..  I might look in to it tomorrow..

I take it you're confirming that I'm otherwise SOL...

Looks like there's a project under way to provide this functionality: 

http://code.google.com/p/as3httpclientlib/

Yer I think we're SOL.  I looked at http://code.google.com/p/as3httpclientlib/, but adobe just changed their security restrictions for sockets.. so it needs a pretty specific set of stuff set up in myspace's crossdomain.xml and who knows if we could get that to happen or not.

Hell yeah!  Just tried it out now - sweet! 

So far I've tried to avoid learning all this opensocial speak/language and all those classes in the lib hurt my head as I try to follow it all through. I think I almost made it back to the actual call but lost track of whatever was passed through.

If somebody could post a Flash code example for newUpdatePersonAppDataRequest so I can follow it through / test it, I would appreciate it.

Better still if someone has it working outside the lib for either AS2 or AS3 that would be great.

All I want to do is store some color variables so the user can customise the app's background and text.  

Thanks
