Matt, I'm sorry that I'm not being clear. I'm thinking about your JSP suggestion, and I suppose that would, and would confirm my original premise that Flex has a limitation in this area.
Let's see if I can be a little clearer: WEB SERVER: incoming url from browser: http://66.23.45.67/beta/Example.mxml redirects to outgoing to app server: http://192.168.4.110/Example.mxml APP SERVER: can know as a deployment parameter that the external name contains "beta". incoming url from web server: http://192.168.4.110/Example.mxml emits some HTML with EMBEDS in it, BUT THIS HTML DOES NOT CONTAIN "beta" in the URLs that it uses to refer to the Flex servlets. It needs to in order for the calls from the browser to the Flex servlets to be redirected successfully by the Webserver. My assertion is that Flex does not have any support for this situation, and instead REQUIRES that the Webserver NOT rewrite the URLs to remove a "context root" that's used only for directing traffic at the Webserver. --- In [email protected], "Matt Chotin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Could you embed the information by generating the MXML using a JSP?
