Interesting idea! I'm curious to see how an OGo Flash interface would 
look like :-)

The Python code actually maps almost 1:1 to the actual XML-RPC 
structures, so I guess its probably the best way to see how those are 
constructed.

Eg if you have something like this in Python:
   persons.fetch( { 'name': 'abc', 'phones': ( 1, 2, 3) } );

The "{" mark dictionaries, the "(" arrays. So the XML-RPC struct for 
that would be something like:
   <struct>
     <name>name</name>
     <value>abc</value>
     <name>phones</name>
     
<value><array><value>1</value><value>2</value><value>3</value></value>
   </struct>
(I think I'm wrong with some tag names ;-)

You can also discover the actual XML-RPC transmissions done by either 
Python or JOGI by starting the XML-RPC Server with the

   -WOHttpAdaptor_LogStream YES

argument. This will dump all HTTP traffic.

Let us know if you need further help!
