To answer two in one go: >What local database are you using and how u sync with the master db on the >web ?
We are using an almost exact copy of our Oracle DB, but in Access format. We sync using XML via HTTP requests - so they grab a huge string of XML data from a page on our site to get data from us, and to send info to us, they fake being a browser, and upload a xml packet back up to a form with a file field in it. Works quite well. (btw - just so you know, we didn't build the VB app) >If you right click on any flash application, >select the settings option, then click on the folder icon, you can see a >user can decided (on a per domain basis) how much local data can be stored. Yes - but does this extent beyond just flat text files that can be stored in there? (and images?) In cases where you are providing a relativley complex offline version of an online app - simple text data is going to be hellish to build a relational program with. You need to have some sort of DB sitting under it. >The functionality (correct me Robin if you need to ;) ...

While i realise I should read more about FCS - what is so special about the paradigm that allows this sort of thing to be developed so much easier, than with Remoting?
