Is it possible (and if so recommended) to use Flex remoting (mx.rpc)classes in an actionscript only project?
I'm creating an application with login and registration to a php back end using AMFphp.
As an option I was wondering if it made sense to take advantage of the mx.rpc flex classes.
I've got some nice little animations developed in an Actionscript Project in Flex Developer 4. They work great. I now want to be able to make use of them in a Flex 4 project. How to do this ? I'm guessing must be a SWC in the process. So many hits from google that I can't filter out the correct approach
View 4 RepliesIf I create a Flex Library project, am I able to use Flex classes from within the library?
The reason I ask is because I'm working in a Flex Library project and trying to use the mx.rpc.soap package. I can import the the package without an issue, and even get code hinting making me think the package is available. Of course I can even see the swcs included in the project. However, when I try to instantiate the WebService class, I get an error when building. Flash Buidler IDE doesn't tell me what the error is, and I don't go into debug mode when I continue with building. I haven't tried connecting to the service yet, just importing the Class and creating a new instance.
I need to write and test xmlStuff.as. I would like to test it on its own without launching the entire application (launched with index.mxml).
Project
Folder: src
Package: Default Package
- index.mxml[c
If I was using java what I would do is I would create a new package: [url].....
And I would put this code in it:
public class xmlStuffTester {
public static void main(String [] args){
XmlStuff xs = new XmlStuff();[code]...
(Alternatly I would write a unit test if I knew exactly what the xml output should be. I don't know that yet so I prefer the above approach.)Question: What is the standard way to do this in Flex builder?
I have an actionscript project which uses visual symbols from an SWC. I have a CheckoutButton which has the following class associated with it (compiled into the SWC in Flash CS3).

I am very new to remoting in flex. I am using flex 4.5 and talking to a web application built by someone else on the team using AMF. They have used Zend_AMF to serialize and unserialize the data.One of the main issues I am facing at the moment is that I will need to talk to a lot of services (about 60 or so).From examples on remoting I have seen online and from adobe, it seems that I need to define a remoting object for EACH service:
<mx:RemoteObject id="testservice" fault="testservice_faultHandler(event)" showBusyCursor="true" destination="account"/>
With so many services, I think I might have to define about 60 of those, which I don't think is very elegant.At the same time, I have been playing with Pinta to test out the AMF endpoint. Pinta seems to be able to allow one to define an arbitary amount of services, methods and parameters without any of these limitations. Digging through the source, I find that they have actually drilled down deep into the remoting and are handling a lot of low level stuff.
Is there a way to monitor the loading progress (percent progress bar style) when using Flex remoting?I'm trying out Flash Builder 4 with it's new data services features, but I can't find any pgrogress event stuff somewhere. This article by Robert Taylor URL... indicates that it might not be possible...

View 2 RepliesWhenever I start a new game, I make a whole bunch of classes that extend my base classes, so: URL...and has some setup code.Now all I need is a way to generate these classes at the start of the project so I don't have to create each one manually. It will save me at least an hour of faffing around per game. So how do I do it? I normally use FlashDevelop but I also have FlexBuilder 3, or I'm happy to download whatever other software I need (PC).
View 4 RepliesShould i keep Remoting Methods outside a class in a seperate AS file or is it possible to call Remoting inside a class.
View 1 RepliesIs the same possible in ColdFusion? Currently I am using .Net/Fluorine to return objects to the client. Whilst in testing I like to pass strings representing the select statement and the custom object I wish to have returned from my service. Fluorine has a class ASObject to which you can set the var 'typeName'; which works great.
I am hoping that this is possible in Coldfusion. Does anyone know whether you can set the type of the returned object in a similar way. This is especially helpful with large collections as the flash player will convert them to a local object of the same name thus saving interating over the collection to convert the objects to a particular custom object.

I have the source code for a Flash based media player written in Action Script 3 that I need to modify. I'm trying to add classes to this project in Flash CS3 however after I import them and try to reference the classes in an existing class within the original source I get the following error when I try to build:
1172: Definition 'classname' could not be found.
However the project builds fine if I don't reference any of the newly imported classes. What am I missing here?
I have an Application consisting of a Java Server part and a Flash/Flex client, both communicate via BlazeDS. In order to have the same typed Objects on both sites, I use the GAS3 code generator (used by flex-mojos).But now I am facing the problem of handling nullable Integers. The problem is that I have an Object (A) which contains a foreign key ID which is reference an optional Object B. - But I only send the ID to the flex client.On the Java site it is easy:
class A {
private Integer bFk;
getter/setter
}
But on the flex client side, bFk is of type int. And a Flash int can not be null. So the remoting mechanism converts the Java null Integer to 0. After sending it back to the server, the Java bFk becomes 0 even on the Java side. - That is not acceptable, because I need to separate 0 and nullMy first workround is using not a Integer on the Java side, but an new Class NullAbleID, which works a bit like a wrapper/adapter, that wrap an internal int where -1 represent null (I can use -1 for null, because real id will be negative). But when I would using this it means I have to replace all Java Integer ids, by this NullAbleID class.
In my attempt to learn flex remoting I came across thisflexService.getRules.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, loadRules);here flexService is a remote java object . me that when esultEvent.RESULT will occur. On studying about ResultEvent in AS document it states as The event that indicates an RPC operation has successfully returned a resultSo keeping that in mind my guess is ResultEvent will be fired when flexService.getRules method will successfully return a list of object,where flexService is object of remote class FlexService having getRules function which returns list of object, Can any one please tell how exactly it works
View 2 RepliesThere is a client - server basic application. The client uses a simple remoting to comunicate with the server side. The server side could be powered on WebORB, BlazeDS or any other product. The client side is using the FLEX framework. That is it about a technologies stack. Now, let's forget about the server side and just have a look on the following client side

I'm building Action Script project in Flash Builder. No flex, no third party libs. Pure actionscript - hierarchy of packages and classes. How do I include a plain external .as file, which is not a package or class, but just a set of statements?
View 1 RepliesI've recently started making a game in FlexBuilder. The game is currently a Flex project. Is there any downside to using Flex as opposed to just Actionscript? A friend of a friend told me that Flex is slower than an Actionscript project. I've been unable to validate this on the internet; is there any truth to that claim?
