Sometimes when you have the hammer out, all your problems will look like
nails.

Ken,
You kind of missed the point. Avoid Ajax like the plague that it is;
replace it instead with an invisible Flex/Flash "data portal". Using
AJAX is complicated enough - and unfortunately most API's that I've
seen are so bloated with features that if you're going to pay the
penalty, you might as well be in control. Unless you are a masochist
of course, then by all means ... cross browser compatability is fun
and rewarding.

That's an inventive and cool application. Though to the comment below, I'm
not sure of the value of coding an ajax web application when you are
requiring that they have flash in order for it to work. Seems like hauling
hay in the old horse drawn wagon when you've got a new pickup truck ready to
go.

I'm forwarding this over to the Flex group since this could be a handy
reference for those of us using Flex and AJAX.

You can always build a Flex (or Flash for that matter) application
that can be put in you page as a 1px by 1px (I'm not sure if 0 by 0
will work) that has nothing on the stage with wmode="transparent".
This application can now act as your portal between the browser via JS
using the External Interface (or fsCommand going back to Flash ~6).
Then your "invisible" Flex/Flash app can leverage all the connection
types available (AMF/SecureAMF, Webservice, HttpService etc...) in a
manner that is not easily accessible to any hacker (you can hide all
kinds of security checks within this app).
I've always wanted to do a bench mark of this type of app side by side
with standard Ajax, but the bottom line is that the only browser
specific code would be in how the returned data is applied to effect
the client content.
