Assuming you have a java backend, openAMF is your best bet.  It will require some tweeking to work with Flex RemoteObject tags but should work out of the box with standard mx.remoting.* classes.     From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clint ModienSent

- AMF is binary data passed over standard HTTP request and responses. So you should not have any problem with packet filtering. - You can turn on GZIP compression with remoting just as you cand with SOAP. That means it be even smaller. Remoting cuts out all the extra metadata so its always go

I had similar issues trying to get the Flash 1.1 Remoting to work, just couldn’t get the license to work unless I deployed the full Flex libs.  It was also never clear to me if this was a violation of the license agreement or not.   So I have always gone with option number 1.  I have re

The event broadcaster keeps a map of event types and the event listener. By creating a new Delegate object everytime you are creating a new Listener. So the broadcaster can no find the previous one to remove. If you want to keep the Delegate ref stuff going. Try this: class LogonWindowViewHelpe

With Flex 2.0 it is possible to connect directly from client to mail servers, both IMAP or POP3.  I have actually built some prototypes to prove it out but have not taken it further.  I imagine that you will start to see some mail API's popup from different developers.   Kevin From: flex

If this is a development problem just clear your browser cache and it should work. If these are images that will change frequently and you want to prevent all browsers from caching them try something like this: var imageURL:String = "/images/blue.jpg?rnd=" + Math.floor(Math.random()*10);
