Developing a YAP App without a backend server? Flash SDK only?

Is it possible, or has anyone tried, writing an App that doesn't need a server? It seems like it should be possible to do with a Flash-only app if you use the AS3 SDK. The <yml:swf> tag doesn't pass along the user's GUID, but it looks like you should be able to get that through the introspection service. Once you've got that, you can do everything via the AS3 SDK, right? Or am I missing something?

I tried getting a sample working with the introspection service (http://social.yahooapis.com/v1/me/guid) but I keep getting auth. errors. Has anyone been able to get the user's GUID in Flash via introspection?

Thanks!
Rick

    Hey Rick,

    You need to have your code hosted on a server. You wont be able to use yml:swf just by itself it will have to be present in a web page hosted on one of your server -
