This is the Title of the Book, eMatter Edition

Chapter 1: Introduction to Flash Remoting

Director MX, a separate multimedia authoring tool sold by Macromedia, can access

Flash Remoting using the Flash MX Asset Xtra (which is basically an embedded ver-

sion of Flash Player 6). For simplicity, this book assumes you are running Flash in a

browser or a standalone Projector.

Macromedia Flash Remoting Components

Flash MX does not come with the Flash Remoting components preinstalled. The

Flash Remoting components add support for Flash Remoting to the Flash authoring

environment and are required to create Flash files that take advantage of Flash

Remoting. If you’re using Director MX as the front end, you’ll need the Flash MX

Asset Xtra, which is compatible with Director MX or Shockwave 8.5.1 or later. The

Flash MX Asset Xtra includes Flash Remoting support.

The Flash Remoting components are included with the Flash Remoting gateway and

can be found on the Studio MX CD-ROM or downloaded for free from the Macro-

media web site. If you’re using versions from the Studio MX CD-ROM, make sure

you get the latest updates from the Macromedia site as well. The components and

other information about Flash Remoting can be found at:

http://www.macromedia.com/go/flashremoting

The components make the following items available from within the Flash MX

authoring environment:

• ActionScript code and classes necessary for Flash Remoting, including NetSer-

vices.as, RecordSet.as, DataGlue.as, and NetDebugger.as

• The Remote Service Browser, for examining remote services

• The NetConnection Debugger panel, for debugging Flash Remoting applications

• Flash MX ActionScript editor enhancements for Flash Remoting, and Reference

panel documentation

All of these items are discussed in detail in this book, beginning in Chapter 2.

Macromedia Flash Remoting Gateway

The Flash Remoting gateway must be installed on the remote server to allow it to

communicate with the Flash movie via Flash Remoting. If you are using an applica-

tion server that comes with Flash Remoting preinstalled, such as ColdFusion MX or

JRun 4, then this step is already taken care of.

Earlier versions of ColdFusion and JRun do not support Flash Remot-

ing.
