Data not working on Label but is working in Datagrid

[KetanS]

I am creating a simple website in Flex. I want to show different content from
the database for home, about us, contact us, etc. I am using a CFC as a
webservice to display the data depending on which link user clicks on.

The problem is that when I display the data through Label or Text, it is not
displaying anything, nor giving any error. But when I display the same data in
a datagrid, it works fine.

Can any body help me sort out this proble?

Here is how the table looks:

contentID contentCode content title

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
1 home This is my Home page
content. Home
2 aboutus This is my About Us page
content. About Us
3 contactus This is my Contact Us page
content. Contact Us
4 privacy This is my Privacy
Policy page content. Privacy Policy
5 return This is my Return
Policy page content. Return Policy

Here is my code...

Everything looks ok.

For debugging, create a result handler function, call it instead of setting
the global variable directly, so you can inspect the result object.

One guess, try contentDesc=event.result[0].

Thanks Tracy.

event.result[0] worked. :)

As per your advice from now onward, I will use a result handler function
instead of direct assignment.

Can I display HTML content? I want to give user a WYSIWYG HTML editor in the
backend and store the content in the database which I want to show in the Flex
website. Can this be possible? The content will be having all kinds of HTML
tags.

Thanks again.

Most of the text controls have an "htmlText" property, BUT, it only supports a
tiny subset of markup.

If you must have full html rendering you will need to use a trick with an
IFrame. See the link below for a sample app and the source code. It is hacky,
but it looks great, and is not hard to do.

Thanks again Tracy,

I am looking exactly the same which is given in the link provided by you. I
will go through the code to understand it and try to implement it in my code.

Thanks again.
