Hi Claus, How would you implement this in a Flash client when accessing a third- party web service for which you pay x amount per request?
Flash Remoting is not more secure and that's why you would never hard- code your username/password in the Flash client when using any technology. In consuming third-party web services from the client, however, you have to the equivalent of this. Am I missing something?
