Wow, thanks for all the info. Ill look into all those different things.
On the side, I was looking at the ExternalInterface and was wondering,
If I have the container call a flash object, what sort of limitations
are there in passing parameters to the flash app?
The documentation seems a little sparse in details for how it translates
type/object from javascript into flash.

Hi,
Have a google for "Flash Remoting" - there are a number of Open
Source server side systems to allow the Flash Remoting interface to
pass data:
OpenAMF is a Java one, I have done a bit with AMF PHP. It uses a
binary format so your data is less bloated and with AMFPHP you can
pass SQL result-sets across the wire without having to iterate through
them to extract data into another form.
You will need to get the Remoting libraries from Adobe "Flash
Remoting" in the search box. Some of the previous threads about
missing components in CS3 mention Flash Remoting may be an issue too.
If this is a problem, maybe look at using sockets - XML in AS2, AS3
allows binary sockets.
osflash.org is a good place to look for client side libraries and
frameworks to help you use these various technologies - ARP, Pixlib
are both frameworks.
Hope this helps...

I had had this question under another topic, but I thought maybe it
needed its own appropriate title.
Im looking for a free solutions (aside from Flash CS3 itself) what
can help me communicate with the server. Im making a client/server
type program with my flash as the client.
Currently we use Java at the back end, so the Flash program will be
put linked into a jsp program.
We use a lot of javascript and dwr(Ajax) to do a lot of our web side
processing. This is mainly for all the dhtml we use. So I was
thinking using the External Interface (which was earlier suggested)
to call
my DWR functions and just communicate through this mechanism. Is
there any other way or possibly a more appropriate way?
