Do you use a URLRequest/URLLoader to place your request? I think if you listen for an IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, one gets raised if the request times out at the HTTP level. If the request gets to the server but the server just takes too long to respond, then I think you'll have to add some sort of timer. -- Rick Genter rick.gen...@gmail.com
