You can use the Base64Encoder class to encrypt your passwords within flex then pass via your HTTPService. If you don't have flex builder, I can help with the API of that class. Otherwise there's also the corelib.swc - I don't know where I got it from though, probably google it to find it... it has a lot more encryption stuff (MD5 for instance). Hope this helps!
