Hi, Thanks for your response.
Since I already have a swf that generates a complex view using data provided, what I'd like to be able to do is not have to recreate this logic in some other language just so that the server can generate images of the result. AS3 provides image generation for display classes. And if I could run the swf on the server, instead of on the client-side, there would be no network overhead of having to send the rendered image to the server. LT --- In [email protected], "Kevin F.
