■ A new Connection class that helps you create and use Flash Remoting connections.
Note: The Connection class supersedes the former NetConnection class.
■ A new PendingCall object returned on each call to a service method that is invoked using
the Service object. The PendingCall object contains the
responder property, which you use
to specify the methods to handle the results of the service call
.
■ A new RelayResponder class, which specifies the methods to which the result and fault
outcomes of a service call are relayed.
■ A RecordSet object that contains new properties (columnNames, items, and length), new
methods (
clear(), contains(), editField(), getEditingData(), getIterator(),
getLocalLength(), getRemoteLength(), isEmpty(), and sortItems()), and the new
modelChanged event.
