Before I purchase Flash Remoting (from some of the threads in the forum I can
see that people have problem with Flash 8 to work with remoting): is there som
other way to have a web application with Flash to talk to a web server? I am
going to make my first "rich" web application communicate with SQL Server
running on Microsoft IS on the .NET platform.
Is Remoting a "healthy" product, or are other technologies underway that lets
a Flash frontend communicate with the server?

I have experienced no problems using remoting with Flash 8. It seems to
happen to people who uninstalled Flash MX 2004, which I haven't.

If you don't trust it, you can use XML or LoadVars to communicate with
the backend, but you'll loose the benefits of remoting (development and
deployment speed, mainly).
