Thanks everyone for getting back to my thread. I am working on my First flash remoting application, and I am finding debugging to be more tedious than I remember. I am not working on the Flash side, so I have been trying to get meaningful messages to bubble up so that we can debug the Flash. I completely understand the data validation concept, that it should be done on the flash side. Thanks for the input.

As Barney said, you really shouldn't use exception handling for data validation (but you can). The "validation" is actually already happening and giving you a runtime error (because you told it the value must be numeric). Therefore, there is either something wrong with the value or something wrong with saying it should be NUMERIC. Make sense?
