I realize that you are trying to provide an improved user experience - that
is what Flash is typically used for.
I am not familiar with how Flash MX remoting works.
However I definitely think that is doable. I assume that you want to create
a Flash previewer, rather than the XHTML viewer that we offer. Would you
still want the report…

Yes. The WebTier component internally uses ClientReport and
ClientReportCatalog to communicate with the report server.

For the rbItems data, try using a TQuery rather than a TTable. The default
SQL should select all records, because that is needed to build the volume
directory. Set the ReportVolume.DirectoryOptions.RefreshInterval to a very
high…
The .rtm files on the server can be arranged into subfolders. You just need
to point the ReportTemplateVolume.FileDirectory at the root directory. The
ClientReportExplorer and Webtier can both display a report explorer style

Building the directory tree that is shown by the report explorer will cause
the dataset to be opened and all records to be traversed. In its current
implementation this can be slow for very large numbers of reports - as you

We have not researched this, nor have we designed the architecture to
support it. Conceptually the ClientReport would have to respond to the

This indicates the Internet Explorer is not configured such that it has

You can set these values via the WebRequest.ContentParameters as shown

I honestly do not know whether you should have separate WebTier(ISAPI) and
(IntraWeb) applications or just use the WebTier component within the
IntraWeb application. I do not have any real experience with IntraWeb.

I recommend that you try to approach this incrementally:
1. Build a simple ClientReport application that uses custom parameters
(sounds like you may have already have done this).

1. True. TrsServer is a singleton - there is only one. There can

Perhaps you are missing a conceptual understanding of the architecture.

Yes. You can submit a URL request to the webtier by typing in your web

I do not have experience with WebSnap. However, it is my understanding that
WebSnap is built on top of WebBroker. You should be able to incorporate the
