1. Re: The future of Flash Remoting?
jedders May 7, 2007 8:14 AM (in response to SySnootles)I do have the same concerns on this topic with every new release. We currently have a large application that is built using Adobe flash remoting and .net in AS2.0. You may want to look into WebOrb. These guys have been arround since remoting became available. Their remoting product has some nice features that Adobe Remoting does not. For example more security settings. They also continue to update their WebOrb product as well as offer the ability to use remoting with other technologies such as Ajax, and Flex to name a few. Nothing compares to passing objects and I hope to see Adobe continue to support Flash Remoting. -

SySnootles May 8, 2007 3:02 AM (in response to Newsgroup_User)Thanks Jed, I will have a look into that today. is this something you have used alongside Flash Remoting, and if so, how does it compare in your opinion? Do you think that if Adobe continue to push Flex and Apollo in the future then Flash Remoting will be overlooked?
thanks

5. The future of Flash Remoting?
yeeep May 8, 2007 2:51 PM (in response to SySnootles)Some word from Adobe about Flash Remoting components for CS3 would be good.
Then I might actually be able to move to CS3. -
6. Re: The future of Flash Remoting?
SySnootles May 9, 2007 2:09 AM (in response to yeeep)Jeeep are you using ActionScript 2.0 or 3.0? If it's 2.0 then check the link in my first post in this thread. If it's ActionScript 3.0, then you use NetConnection instead using the 'call' method. I got ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook to help me on that one.

yeeep May 9, 2007 7:03 AM (in response to SySnootles)SySnootles, thanks. What about the NetConnection Debugger? I know there's alternatives to it for PC, but not for Mac.
I'm currently using Flash 8 + AS 2.0 and so have no problems with remoting of course. But I'm *looking* to move to CS3 + AS 3.0. -

jedders May 16, 2007 12:57 PM (in response to SySnootles)I have come up with some documentation on migrating the remoting components etc.. into Flash CS3. I have both AS2 and AS3 remoting setup in Flash CS3 and working. We went through the same process when migrating from MX to 8. I will try to get that posted this week. -

jedders May 27, 2007 7:55 AM (in response to SySnootles)Sorry it took me a few days to get this up but here you go.
ActionScript 2.0 Remoting Coponents and Debugger in Flash CS3.
1. Copy Remoting and RPC Folders from your Documents and settings location TO FLASH CS3 LOCATION.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\mx
to
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Classes\mx
2.Copy Remoting.Fla From.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Libraries
To
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Libraries
3. Copy NetConnection Debugger.swf and Service Browser.swf from.
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\WindowSWF
To
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\WindowSWF
4. Copy NetConnection Debugger.swf and Service Browser.swf from or WindowSWF folder.
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\WindowSWF
To
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\First Run\WindowSWF
5. Copy the Libraries Folder.
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run
to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\First Run
6. Copy Remoting and RPC Folders from your Program Files location TO FLASH CS3 LOCATION.
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\Classes\mx
To
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\First Run\Classes\mx
7. Copy the RemotingConnector.swc from.
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\Components\Data Components
to
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Components\Data
This will allow you to use the Remoting component in Flash cs3 just as you did in Flash 8. You will still need to use them in Action Script 2.0 Files. -
11. Re: The future of Flash Remoting?
Keehunthebeginner Jun 7, 2007 11:55 AM (in response to jedders)Could you put all those files in a zipped file? It doesn't have to contain the file structure but just the files since I don't have Flash 8 handy (I have it but uninstalled) so it would be impossible for me to have Flash Remoting back. I thank you very much for your help! -

Kaspar V Jun 21, 2007 6:39 AM (in response to SySnootles)HI!
I'm trying to set up remoting components for Flash CS3 on Mac OS X but since I dont have Flash 8 I cannot install the components at all.
How could I get AS2 remoting components and debugger for Flash CS3? -
15. Re: The future of Flash Remoting?
Keehunthebeginner Jun 21, 2007 6:44 AM (in response to Kaspar V)Yes. Can anyone upload the ZIP file of these components? Thanks -
16. Re: The future of Flash Remoting?
Craig Grummitt Jun 28, 2007 6:28 PM (in response to jedders)thanks for that jedders.
for anyone running vista, interpret
C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\...
as:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\...
Also I found i needed to copy DataRange.as, PageableData.as and PageableList.as files from
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\mx\data
to:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Adobe\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Classes\mx\data
perhaps to use the RecordSet data type. -

Shinjuka Jul 4, 2007 5:42 AM (in response to Kaspar V)Here's a ZIP archive for Mac users with all files needed to make remoting works in Flash CS3 like in Flash 8 (it works for me).
It comes with Classes, Remoting.fla and NetConnection Debugger.swf.
Simply copy files in your /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Flash CS3/Configuration folder.
Hope it helps.

Novian Nov 4, 2007 7:33 AM (in response to SySnootles)Hi there,
I've been using RemoteObject to handle my remoting in Flex. I'm completely confused however when it comes to straight Flash CS3 (AS 3). I understand that the responder object handles my results from a method call. But how do I get access to the data within? I'm trying result.label, result[0].label...nothing.
Example:
private function onResult(result:Object):void
{
Alert.show("Label is "+result[0].label);
Thanks.

21. Re: The future of Flash Remoting?
Novian Nov 4, 2007 9:31 AM (in response to Novian)Update:
I figured it out. One of the blogs on AMFPHP mentioned "serverInfo" and "initialData". I was able to use those to access the data in my object e.g. result.serverInfo.initialData
Is it me or is there VERY little documentation with respect to AS 3 and remoting outside of Flex 2?
Thanks for your leads.

Hi Shinjuka,
Is there any way that you can re-post this link. I am on a mac and no longer have access to the flash 8 remoting files to try this fix.
Thanks. -

This link worked for me! The 2 others led me to a suspicious 404. I may be jumping to conclusions, but that fact that these downloads disappeared (**cough cough, lawyers, cough cough**) combined with the fact that Adobe offers no installer that works with Flash CS3 leads me to assume that they really don't want people using remoting in AS2. I FIND THIS VERY IRRITATING ADOBE! Why didn't you just include the files in CS3 and save us all these headaches? -
