I haven't actually had a chance to play with FDS yet (and I
am unfamiliar what exactly a destination is in this context) but what you
describe sounds like a definite limitation. Would you be able to post some code
that shows how and where this problem surfaces?

Stefan, it's nice to know I'm not alone over here!

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Message destinations in the context of a multi-room chat app
Regarding using FMS and FDS together, I'd like to be able to rebuild this app:
http://www.userplane.com/webchat/
using FDS for all the text messaging and data synchronization and FMS
for the live AV. So far, I don't see a clear path to that goal
without dynamic destinations or some equivalent approach. Remote
Shared Objects in FMS are essentially dynamic destinations the way we
use them in our apps.
