Sharepoint offers webservices to fetch the data back directly, so you can target those rather than having to screen scrape.
Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms479390.aspx I've written Air apps in the past for pulling out information from our sharepoint site in a much nicer way than sharepoint itself ;) Gk.

ColdFusion 8 code here for .Net <cfobject type=".NET" action="create" class="pathBugLibrary1.pathBug1" assembly="pathBugLibrary1.dll" name="pathBug1"> <cfset foo = pathBug1.getURLData ("http://serveraddress/PATH/webpagename <http://serveraddress/PATH/webpagename> ","username","password")> then you can parse foo for specifics, and return any data you need back to flex I am looking for a better way to use the sharepoint data with a flex frontend, the code above works, just alot of web data parsing on my end Randy
