Well, it is ... if they can do that. ;)

It's not especially hard if you have the tools and know-how to keep an
eye on network packets to and from the user's machine. Of course, this
isn't a Flash flaw, per se ... they could just as easily grab this
information if the POST had been made from Cold Fusion, ASP, PHP, what have
you, with no SWF involved.

You may have to use something like secure sockets
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer), but honestly, I'd be
stepping out of my expertise in giving you further advice. I'm almost
exclusively a client-side programmer.

Thanks David

That's what i thought (or hoped!), but we have a client who has manged to
send us an excel spreadsheet of all the xml we send into flash and they
think it is a security flaw.

How would thay manage to save this xml?

We use response.write in the asp page to send the document tree back to
flash.

Everything occurs in memory.
