Hi guys, Thanks for the help with regards to web services. Using Flash Remoting was one method I have already been exploring. I guess it's just a shame that web services aren't 'natively' supported within Director... Although I think we are all getting used to Director taking a second seat to Flash nowadays. It's also a real shame that Macromedia has only developed Flash web services to work with ColdFusion MX.... Especially seeing as Dreamweaver MX supports the consumption of web services on either ColdFusion MX, ASP.Net or Java using a J2EE application server.
