Remote objects

Flex

applications can also make use of Flash’s remoting

capabilities by using remote objects. To make this happen

the server code needs to support AMF requests. This is a

proprietary binary format. Thankfully, there are libraries

in each of the major languages to support AMF.

Directly through sockets

When all else fails you can use TCP/IP sockets directly and

support whatever binary or ASCII protocol you choose.

I’ll be showing only two examples in this chapter, but it’s im-

portant that you know just how many ways Flash and Flex can

communicate on the web.

Figure 5-1 shows how all of this fits together.

The HTML page loaded by the browser contains a reference to

the Flash SWF file that contains the Flex application. That Flex

application is loaded and run. It then makes requests directly

to the server using a variety of transport protocols.

In the remainder of this chapter, I’ll cover the POST/GET and

HTTP service methods of accessing the server. I’ll start with an

example of using the POST/GET method.
