dont confuse the XML socket object with the XML object. The XMLSocket object is used for two way communications and allows the server to push data to the flash movie. this is normally used for things like chat and multiplayer flash games.
in most cases, you want to use the XML object, which uses standard HTTP / HTTPS to send and load XML to and from the server. so, if you are using SSL, then all of the communication between flash and the server will be encrypted if you use: LoadVars LoadVariables XML (Object) hope that helps... mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 5:21 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Secure Flash? > > > Thank you very much for that.
