CHAPTER 1

Introduction to Flash Remoting

When I was an 11-year-old kid, I thought I was pretty good on a bike. I could do

wheelies around the neighborhood, drive on dirt hills, jump ramps. It wasn’t

enough, though. I wanted to make the transition to a minibike, which is basically a

little bike with a lawn mower engine on it. If all I needed was my riding skills, I prob-

ably would have been set. Unfortunately, keeping my feet in one place, turning the

throttle, and pressing the hand brakes on the minibike were unknown territories. My

first time out I turned the throttle too far, lost my footing, and forgot how to hit the

brake. I landed in a heap in the street.

If I had put a little forethought into it, I would have realized that riding a bike and

riding a minibike were completely different things. Only some aspects were the

same; by learning the new aspects and applying my prior knowledge of riding a bike,

I eventually figured out how to stay put without falling on my butt.

Working with a new computer technology in a familiar environment is like that. In

the case of Flash Remoting, everyone holding this book is probably familiar with

Flash movies and ActionScript programming. Flash Remoting puts some new and

exciting things into Flash that will require learning new ways to look at ActionScript

and what it can accomplish. With Flash Remoting, Macromedia has put an engine

on Flash.

What Is Flash Remoting?

These are exciting times. Macromedia is attempting to change the way application

developers create web-based applications.

Flash Remoting constitutes a complete rethinking of how web applications are con-

structed. Using Flash Remoting, you can create complex client/server applications

that more closely resemble desktop applications than traditional web pages. For

those of you familiar with traditional Windows-style programming IDEs, Flash

Remoting is roughly the web equivalent of a Visual Basic client/server application.

This chapter presents a broad overview of Flash Remoting.
