Flash Remoting ActionScript classes 35
Importing Flash Remoting ActionScript classes
Before you can import Flash Remoting classes in your application, you must first place the
required Flash Remoting libraries on the Stage. For more information, see “Connecting to a
service” on page 18.
Use the
import directives from the following table at the top of your ActionScript code to
eliminate the need for using the fully qualified class name each time you need to refer to the class.
This is typically done in the first frame of the Flash application or at the top of any class files
as required:
