In the ColdFusion world, session variables are used to get around the stateless of a browser. Cookies are passed back and forth between each page request, which the server ties into "in memory" variables.
From what I understand, in the .NET world the concept is very similar, except that .NET stores session variables in a database, not in memory. ( I could be completely wrong ). In a Flex application, you aren't performing multiple page requests in the same vein that you would when serving dynamically generated HTML, and therefore don't need session variables. Store your "session" state as part of the Flex application, not on the remote server. honoraryvato wrote: > > > I did some research on session variables with Flex.
