Wouldn't it also be helpful to have the server-side script verify
(validate) the data the swf is sending back up?
That way if someone manually triggered the date, the server would not
accept it because it doesn't match it's system date.

Kevin,
On start-up the SWF could request the date of data transfer from a
server script. The script would return it from the database in
encrypted form to bypass sniffers.
When the date is reached, and data requested, the PHP script could
compare current server date and date from the database. If different,
ignore it.
Henrik's phrase "You clearly haven't heard of HTTP request sniffers."
is discouraging. We all make errors, unfortunately.
On the other hand, he comes up with lots of useful information for
which we are grateful.

I'll explain further so I get valuable responses and avoid the
sarcasm. My
goal is to pass in the date from the server, the application counts
down,
and when the date hits a certain time, the application does
something. This
something that the application does will also be loaded by calling a PHP
script that will load from a backend DB. My concern is someone being
able
to launch the SWF passing in an incorrect date that will trigger this
something early.
Thanks for your help.
