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:

http://blog.vixiom.com/2007/04/17/actionscript-20-flash-remoting-with-flash-cs3

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

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.

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.

Some word from Adobe about Flash Remoting components for CS3 would be good.

Then I might actually be able to move to CS3.

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.

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.

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.

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
