Hey all,

I have a Flash app that I’m working with in AS@ which needs to call out to a WebService via XML RPC. However, the server I need to connect to uses HTTP authentication, and I can’t figure out how to pass the username/pass to login to the server before I excute any calls. I am using the AS2 library from [http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/](http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/)

I was told I could use a function called setEncodedLogin, but that doesn’t seem to exist in the package.

Has this been encountered before? Thanks in advance!
