20 Chapter 1: Getting Started

Highlight the text field and in the Property inspector, name the text field messageDisplay and

select Dynamic Text in the menu.

Open the Actions panel and insert the following ActionScript code, replacing variables that

appear in italics with the values that correspond to the server you are using. These values are

provided following the code:

import mx.remoting.Service;

import mx.services.Log;

import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;

import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;

import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;

import mx.remoting.PendingCall;

import mx.remoting.RecordSet;

// connect to service and create service object

var howdyService:Service = new Service(

"gatewayUrl",

new Log(),

"serviceName",

null,

null );

// call the service helloWorld() method

var pc:PendingCall = howdyService.serviceFunctionName();

// tell the service what methods handle result and fault conditions

pc.responder = new RelayResponder( this, "serviceFunctionName_Result",

"serviceFunctionName_Fault" );

function serviceFunctionName_Result(result:ResultEvent)

{

// display successful result

messageDisplay.text = result.result;

}

function serviceFunctionName_Fault(fault:FaultEvent)

{

//display fault returned from service

messageDisplay.text = fault.fault.faultstring;

}

The ActionScript code creates a new Service object, howdyService, to create both the gateway

connection and a reference to the remote service. You specify the following variables:

■ The gatewayUrl, which depends on the location of the application server running Flash

Remoting. For example, the following

gatewayUrl connects to a ColdFusion service:

http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway. Specify the appropriate gatewayUrl

value for your remote service.

■ The Log object, to which debugging messages are sent. For more information, see the Log

class in Flash Remoting ActionScript Dictionary Help.
