Enjoy the sun… ! I am writting from South.. Brittany (La Trinité s/mer) … sunny too, but colder..
I appreciated your info .. exactly what I was looking for… I work with Rails but I’m not so aware of AS3 (trying to get it…)
I copied and tested your example.. fine..

question : rails.get(‘events’, rails_events); how rails returns the event record as we don’t call a controller/action … ?
I believe doing it RESTFul it’s depending upong your route ? is it not?

problem : what if the xml returned is not a record, but it has to be prepared by Rails… I explain

right now my rails view .. I have a javascript object
var obj = ‘<object… <param name="movie" value="/test/srb.swf?dataSource=’ + ‘test/reprod.xml’.. + ‘<\/object>’;
document.write(obj);

I would like to replace the datasource file by a direct call to rails from Flash, so this param will disappear… so (ci-orrect me if I am wrong)
1- I need to pass a user_id value in JS to Flash in the script…
2- Flash need to send a request to Rails (controller/action/id to prepare the xml… ) to get in return a correct an xlm object to be displayed
