Access Bing maps via SSL / https in Flex API

[NunoGil1]

I need to access the 'com.esri.ags.virtualearth.VETiledLayer' over SSL and have the results returned via https.

Does anyone know how this can be accomplished? I would greatly appreciate any assistance with this.

Thanks!

I know this thread is kind of old but was there any resolve to this issue?  I saw a thread where upgrading to version 2.6 would allow the ability to use SSL(https) access to the tiles but I am not seeing how if this is true.
