I think Canvas is the way to go...   Note that I meant that you could get the info from the Sprite.loaderInfo.loaderURL and set it on the mx.messaging.config.LoaderConfig.mx_internal::_url property, though this involves using a mx.core.mx_internal namespace which I don't believe is "public" and hence guaranteed to be supported going forward.

It seems like initializing mx.messaging.config.LoaderConfig.url would have essentially the same drawback as setting the endpoint in ActionScript - it would create a situation where I would need to maintain the URL in ActionScript. Or am I misunderstanding you? In any case, I think it's OK to use Canvas as the base class, because it doesn't seem to add excessive weight to the app. But I am very much open to better ideas!
