Hi all,
I'm developing a Flash Lite (1.1) application which uses LoadVariables() to fetch data from a server.
The issue i'm coming up with is that every time LoadVariables() is called, I am prompted to select an access point to connect to the internet with....
For example: user enters login information, clicks login, access point is selected.
User then clicks 'inbox' and inbox data is retrieved but access point is requested again... I cant have this happening every time a user clicks a button..
There must be a workaround for this ... what is it ? :)
Thanks

I don't know if FlashLite 1.1 sends HTTP 1.1 Connecton:open in header, you should be able to override hearders, if FlashLite 1.1 allows.
There is another reason you are asked to select access point, security-sandbox. In FlashLite 2.1, it just asks once and not later..
See if you can have custom http-headers, afaik I know, you can't in FlashLite 1.1

As far as my knowledge goes connecting to a GPRS connection or other internet connection is a system call which is controlled by the mobile device and this cannot be directly controlled by Flash Lite. When FL initiates a connection the mobile makes a connection and each mobile behaves in different way in establishing a connection and I dont think this behavior can be controlled by Flash.
In your case the connection is lost because of something called "Idle connections time out". From the technote:
Idle connections time out.
Your connection to the Internet will shut down after several seconds if the SWF file is not communicating with the Internet. If you need to reconnect after the connection times out, the user must select his or her access point again.
A bad hack would be to maintain the connection without being idle by sending some request to the server but you will be bad on the user by increasing his data usage multifold.
