Thanks Jeff. That just might work for what I'm doing. What a pain in the ass, but your suggestion is pragmatic. I'm sure others have encountered this problem. Any explanation about why Flex/Flash is not upholding it's end of the bargain? Is it just a simple issue of Flash's URLRequest timing out waiting on the serverr? My server is responding in about 500ms on the low end at around 200ms on the upper end. But, it still just drops some of the requests. Charlie
