Hi Sid, Thanks for the reply. I later realized that since the servlet was being called from the flex application the url redirect or the forward would not work. I have moved the authorization check such that it occurs before the flex app is loaded.

I would set up a handler for when the servlet returns, and have the servlet return some value which tells the flex movie what to do. It could return a URL which the flex movie could then navigate to, or it could return an empty string in which case the flex movie would do nothing. If you wanted to make it a little more secure, you could hard code a default URL into the flex movie, and have it navigate there unless it received a message telling it to do something else. That way it would default to unloading itself, and would only stick around if the servlet told it that was OK. > > Hope that helps. > > > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: gaurav1146 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 10:17:10 PM > Subject: [flexcoders] Navigating from flex to jsp page > > > I have a flex application that loads as soon as a user hits a url.
