HI Brendon Sounds good to me, And my teamate is working on the encryption part, he thinks that encryption of the password needs to be done through Javascript and if thats the case I need to see how my Flex code needs to talk to JavaScript, i guess using exteralInterface might help me, So do you think JavaScript is good option for taking care of encryption (on the wire) for the password or we should try some other technology. I am doubtful that if Flex can take care of encryption of the password. Any feedback regardign how to encrypt migh help too, Thanks Brendon for your help Anuj
