Situation 1: remoting calls really are
sent over https if the endpoint you chose is https
Situation 2: The SWF is loaded over http,
not https assuming you explicitly used an http url. So no overhead.
Situation 3: If the Flex SWF was loaded
over https all of your remote calls should also go over https by default.
You should be able to keep the SWF as http
and the remoting calls as https without a problem. The only disadvantage is
that your users will not see the secure icon in their browser. Since the
content on the page will not all be https.

Subject: [flexcoders] SWF and Flex
SSL confusing situations
I would like to understand some of the http and https situations and
how it affects SSL connections.
First Situation:
Flex application loaded with
http. The Flex access remoting calls
with a https endpoint.
Are the remoting calls really
send over https?
Second Situation:
Flex application loaded with
https. Flex application uses a
mx.controls.Loader to load an item from a http
location.
Is https used when loading the
http item with Loader? another way
of asking, is there https overhead in this
situation?
Third Situation:
Regular Flash Player 7 SWF
application loads a Flex application
using a Loader class. The contentPath of the
Flex application is a
https url.
Does the SWF application override
any https settings int he Flex
application, for example remote calls set to call
https protocal?
Are there any options for creating a website all
in flash along with
the a shopping cart, but to have the shopping cart
form and remoting
calls use https, but also keep url to get to the
website http?
