I smelled silliness then and still smell it now :) AS was not really designed for server-side jobs, reminds me of the hammer and nail analogy.
Howard, sure, you could run a AIR app on the server, but how to communicate with it? local connection? certainly doable, but seems a heck of a lot of work IMO. Oh, and it is not going to be thread safe and all that jazz and has no way to push to clients. Need some ADEP and $$ for that. Douglas Knudsen http://www.cubicleman.com this is my signature, like it?
