OK I need to send the auth token to Flash. I can get it, but for some  
reason the + signs in the auth code are showing up as spaces. Anyone  
know why? or how to get around this?

Also, if I send the authenticity\_token back to rails, to I have to set  
it using auth\_token= params[…] or anything? Not sure what to set.
