Configuring Flash Remoting

Before you can call a remote service, you must configure Flash Remoting, which consists of

completing the following tasks.

Note: The client does not access the remote server when you configure Flash Remoting. The client

first communicates with the remote server when it makes the first service function call.

• Establishing a Flash Remoting gateway connection.

• Getting a Flash Remoting service object.

• Authenticating the user, if your application server or service requires user authentication.

The following sections describe these Flash Remoting configuration tasks.

import mx.services.Log;

Log object is optional parameter to Service constructor.

You can use the Log class to create a customized logger

for your Flash Remoting application.

import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug;

Provides debugging methods for Flash Remoting

applications. Remove it before publishing your application

to a production server to prevent access to debugging

information.

To initialize debugging support in a single statement without

first importing the class, you can add the following

statement to your code before creating a connection:.

mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.initialize();

import mx.remoting.NetServices;

(Deprecated)

Methods in this class allow you to create and manage

gateway connections.

import mx.remoting.PendingCall;

Facilitates asynchronous interaction between the client

application and a service function. Use if you use the

Service class to reference remote service functions.

import mx.remoting.RecordSet;

Use this statement if you create client-side record sets or

need to access or manipulate record sets that are returned

as the result of a call to a remote service.

import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;

Enables the Responder object that relays result and fault

calls from a service to a corresponding function on the

specified object.

import mx.data.components.

RemotingConnector;

Implements a component that provides an easy way for

Flash Professional clients to call functions on server-side

objects.

import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;

Result handling object that contains the result returned by a

remote service function.

import mx.remoting.Service;

Use this statement to establish a gateway connection and

reference a specific remote service and the methods that it

exposes.
