HELP: NoMethodError (undefined method `stringify_keys!' for

We have a flash developer who is intergating with a rails application
when
he posts a particular variable (in this case ‘rating’) We get a ‘Rails
Application
Error’ Trawling the production log turns up this error;

NoMethodError (undefined method `stringify_keys!’ for “10”:String):

The html wireframe has no such problem. A select box is used to submit
the data
in the style of.

rating[rating]

Here is the ‘def’ in the controller;

def rate
dream = User.find(params[:id])
rating = Rating.new(params[:rating])

# Create or Update rating cookie
if !cookies[:rating]
  cookies[:rating] = { :value => User.sha1(@request.remote_ip + 

Time.now.to_s), :expires => Time.now + 31449600}
else
cookies[:rating] = { :value => cookies[:rating], :expires =>
Time.now + 31449600}
end
rating.cookie = cookies[:rating]
dream.ratings << rating
if dream.update
flash[:notice] = ‘Rating was added to this dream.’
redirect_to :action => ‘show’, :id => dream
else
render :action => ‘show’
end
end

Is there something wrong with submiting a post variable called ‘rating’
in this way is there another method that im missing?

Thanks in advance.

Which line is the error on, and what does your param hash look like?
