I am curious to how this works internally. If I make a change to a collection (or an item in the collection) on the actionscript side, when that change is made on the server does the whole collection get refreshed OR just the single object that I made the change to. Also, I am assuming that when I call someArrayCollection.refresh() on the client that this does NOT signal a refresh of data from the server. I would have to do something more substantial to actually signal a reload of the current data from the server (like change some data)... correct? I guess I am trying to figure out the expected behavior when trying to managed objects/collections on the client with autosync vs. manual sync. - Kevin --- In [email protected], "Jeff Vroom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes, that is in Java.
