Question

The future of Flash Remoting?

We are about to embark on a major, long term project which requires Flash/Database connectivity and Flash Remoting seemed the perfect way to go. Having just acquired Flash CS3, I encountered some difficulty since there is no Remoting Components package available for CS3. I did however find this link and manage to get my AS2.0 code to run:

This makes me worried about the future of Flash Remoting - I don't want to purchase and then be locked into a technology that gets shelved or overlooked by Adobe. I am aware of the AMFPHP toolkit but this since we are going with .NET this is not appropriate. Does anyone else have the same fears or does anyone at Adobe have any information on what the future of Flash Remoting will be?

Thanks guys

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?

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?

Thanks Jedders, all works and very importantly past projects compile properly now in CS3. It means I can now use my updated program.

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.

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!
