I dont quite understand. Arent *all* flex applications remotely served? Isnt that what it means to have an application on the internet? Perhaps you could explain what scenario you are thinking about where a flex app isnt remote? Regards Hank Hi Hank,   The scenario I was thinking about primarily is where applications are served on an intranet. In this case the health of the intranet and any server connected to it is usually/often under the jurisdiction of the company using the application, so any infrastructure problems are, in the main, in-house.   A web application may then be very similar to a desktop one, because desktop applications in a company environment are often reliant on a healthy network/servers in order to function (network shares, database connectivity, network security, etc.).   In this way, intranet deployed Flex applications have very similar deployment risks/vulnerabilities to desktop apps (but none of the desktop installation hassle).   All this contrasts with loading a Flex App from a remote server where you may not have control of the infrastructure between the desktop and remote server, neither may you have control over the remote server and it's local infrastructure.   I hope that explains my view a bit better.   Paul __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
