'secured' spring-flex testdrive as AIR application

[dirk.dinger]

Hi Spring-flex users !

I just created an AIR application from the code contained in the 'secured' example in the testdrive project.
Can anyone tell me what the 'securityhelper" is required for ?

private function applicationCompleteHandler():void
{
securityHelper.getAuthentication();
}

My problem is, that the securityHelper itself is a secured resource on the server side and in case of the first access to the remote object, the AIR runtime asks for a username and password. This is different to the the example run in the context of a web application, where the user is already authenticated when accessing the demo.

Can anyone give me an example how to access a secured remote object from within an AIR application ?

Regards,
Dirk

All that is doing is making a remote call to the server to check if there is an existing authentication (for example, in the case of using the HTML login form). I would think you wouldn't need that at all in an AIR version.
