Using the Flash Remoting ActionScript API in the CustomerInfoExampleAPI application 47
Using the Flash Remoting ActionScript API in the
CustomerInfoExampleAPI application
The CustomerInfoExampleAPI application uses the ActionScript API to connect to the
customerData remote service. This application illustrates the following features of Flash
Remoting for Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2.0:
• Using the Service object to create a gateway connection and a reference to a remote service
• Using the PendingCall and RelayResponder objects to specify result-handling and
fault-handling methods
• Formatting and paging of a record set result
• Assigning a record set to a DataGrid user interface component
• Using event listeners to trigger refreshing of the data
You can find the CustomerInfoExampleAPI application in the following folders:
• /Program Files/Macromedia/Flash MX 2004/en/First Run/RemotingSamples/Client
• /Program Files/Macromedia/Flash MX 2004/en/First Run/RemotingSamples/Server
See the Readme.htm and RemotingCustomerExamplesWalkthrough.htm files in the
RemotingSamples folder for information on how to set up and use this sample application. You
can access the Flash and ActionScript files for this example in the Client subfolder.
The following figure depicts the user interface. Based on the category that a user selects in the
Category list, the application returns a paged record set containing the qualifying customers from
the customers database and displays it in a DataGrid in the Customers section. The Customer
Detail section of the user interface displays a logo and descriptive text about the customer that is
currently selected in the DataGrid.
