Where is flash remoting in actionscript 3.0\flash cs5

hello everybody,
i have been looking throught all the available tutorials on this site including flash cs5 help, actionscript 3.0 developer's guide, learning actionscript 3.0 and i can't seem to find anything relating to flash remoting (i.e how to retrieve and send data to and from a server like coldfusion). has it been removed?
i have solutions that were built with flash and actionscript 2.0 that uses data retrieved from coldfusion server for it's operation, i was thinking of migrating them to actionscript 3.0, but it keeps saying that the classes, packages or interfaces like mx.remoting, mx.rpc can not be found. even when i create a new flash document specifying 2.0 as the docuent type, it is still not compiling,. does this mean i have to revert to flash 8\actionscript 2.0 because that is what i built the programs with. please any information or guidiance will be highly appreciated.
thanks to you all.

To do it in AS2 you need just install the remoting classes again. You can either copy them fro your old install or get them:
http://drupal.org/node/258605
Scroll down a bit and you'll see a link to the as2 remoting classes: Remoting_FlashCS3.zip
In AS3 there are a few ways. Some people have made classes for it, or you can use the built in methods of NetConnection. Here's a couple examples of that:

flash remoting is built-in in CF7, and unless you need to
enable
integration of webs services, you do not need to change
anything
to test if fr is enabled, just go to
http://localhost/flashservices/gateway
- if you see a blank page in
response you are good to go
you will obviously need MM/Adobe Flash to make flash movies
that
get/post data with remoting... keep in mind, though, that
flash
remoting components were included with Flash only up to ver 8
(Flash CS3
does not have them at all, since it uses a different approach
altogether; though you can still make it work with components
for
previous flash versions, it is a bit of a PIA...)
i am sure others will add a lot to this (i am just a casual
flash
remoting coder/user - it is not my sharpest knife...)
a few websites that helped me get going were:
http://www.asfusion.com/blog/entry/remoting-for-coldfusion-flash-forms

Is This a CS4 Flash Remoting Bug?

I think I have discovered a bug, but am looking for others to comment and maybe somebody knows of somebody else that has experience with this issue.
I have a very large flash app I am working on for a multi-user RPG game, it relies heavily on flash remoting via AMFPHP so that flash clients logged into the game may communicate with each other and the main game server which handles database storage, the game heartbeat functions,etc.
I have been developing the app on Flash CS4 for Windows and never have had any trouble, it works fine in the IDE environment when testing the movie and the published version works fine as well.
Now I have a Mac version of CS4 and I am getting some crazy problems running the app in Test Movie mode in the IDE.
After I start the app in Test Movie mode and run it for a few seconds all flash remoting stops working, the game continues to run and no error messages are generated but all of the NetConnection calls do no do anything, they do not connect, they generate no errors. Ok, thats strange enough but now, if I kill the Test Movie and rerun it via Test Movie no NetConnection calls are made and the initial .connect call does not go through, I have watched the server logs on the other end and no attempts to reach the gateway.php are made. This continues until I unload all of the .fla and .as files associated with the project and then reload them, and then it starts again, works the first time for 5 seconds or so and then all NetConnections stop completely.
So to summarize what I think is a bug specifically for the Mac platform of Flash CS4 Professional:
1. Projects works fine in Flash CS4 for Windows
2. In Flash CS4 for Mac, the project runs for about 5 seconds in Test Movie Mode and then all NetConnection activity stops
3. No errors are generated for the NetConnection
4. Continues to fail even restarting the project until I close the files and re-open them in the IDE
Sounds like a bug, does anybody know of others with this problem, or does anyone have anything I can try?
Thanks,
Andy

The application doesn't hang but the TextBlock ends up on top the Button when you set its Text property. That's why you cannot click on the Button.
If you set the Text property of the TextBlock in the XAML markup you won't be able to click the Button when you run the app because of the same reason:
<TextBlock x:Name="OutputMsg" Text="sample text"
Margin="0,200,0,0"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
FontSize="18" />
The solution is, like you have already discovered, to put the TextBlock in the StackPanel so it ends up
below the Button and not on top of it in the same Grid.

Where is "Using Flash Remoting for Flash 8 ActionScript 2.0.pdf"?

I am looking for pdf documentation for Flash Remoting using
Flash 8. I am not interested in Live Docs.

You can find documentation in the Flash help. Also, remoting
for Flash 8 is the same as remoting for Flash MX 2004 if you find
something for mx 2004.

Netconnection Debugger not tracing when exporting from Flash 8 with Actionscript 2.0

Ok, Sorry for the long post, but given my research , I wanted
to be clear on the problem and what I have done to address it.---
anyone who has gotten the NetConnection Debugger to work with Flash
8 and actionscript 2.0 on a PC, your help will be greatly
appreciated
When I compile a Flash 8 swf with AS 2.0 the it does not seem
to import the class properly to utilize the net connection
debugger.
I spent a considerable amount of time getting it to work on
My Mac, but on the PC , none of my calls to the debugger are
working.
I have a very simple file that has the following code:
import mx.remoting.NetServices;
import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug;
NetDebug.initialize();
NetDebug.trace("I am here")
I do not get any errors for the imports, and the files are
where they need to be. ( see the end of the message to see the
directory structure for both the mac and the pc versions of this)
When I first installed the remoting components on my
macintosh, the Net Connection Debugger would not work. I eventually
took my 2004 Classes and overwrote the mx.remoting.debug folder in
the
usr/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Flash
8/en/Configuration/Classes/mx/
then after restarting flash and the debugger.swf.. it worked
on the mac.
I have tried the same thing on the PC on three separate
machines.
The latest PC is a brand new clean machine.
These are the steps I have followed:
I installed Flash 8 professional
I installed the remoting components
I created a test file with the code from above
I opened the debugger
I exported the file, ............... nothing traced
I then copied the as Class files from my mac and overwrote
the files in the classes directory for mx.remoting.debug
in both these directories.
c:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application
Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Classes\mx\
and in c:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First
Run\Classes\mx\remoting.
After a restart of flash and the debugger I am still not
getting a trace out... I am at a loss. I need this to work, and
someone has to have run into this before.
Here is a list of the files in mx\remoting directories on the
Mac and the PC.

How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?

Hi,
Using Stratus I was able to create an an application using Action Script 3 and Flash CS4. The sample code on the Adobe site was quite straight forward and easy to understand. I now want to switch over to LCCS but can't find anything any where on how to use Action Script 3 and Flash CS4 with LCCS. Do I need to know Flex to be able to use LCCS? Everything was quite simple and easy to understand with Stratus and makes complete sense. But LCCS is really confusing. Is there any sample code on how to establish a connection in Action Script 3 and then stream from a webcam to a client. There is nothing in the LCCS SDK that covers Flash and Action Script 3. Please help! I found the link below on some forum but it takes me nowhere.

Subject: How can I use LCCS with ActionScript 3 and Flash CS4?
Hi,
Welcome to the LCCS world.
Please refer to the SDK's sampleApps folder. There would be an app called FlashUserList. The app demonstrates how LCCS can be used with Flash CS4. Its a pretty basic app, but should help you moving.
We are trying to improve our efforts to help developers in understanding our samples. Please do let us know if we can add something that would help others.

Flash remoting image loading

Hello, can someone please tell me if this is possible:
I want to use flash remoting (AS2) to enable coldfusion
database connectivity that will dynamically populate my .swf with
images.
If it is possible, can someone please direct me to where I
can learn how to do this.
thanks kindly for any info.

To answer the first question, yes it is possible.
Second, search sephiroth.it's web tutorials on remoting.
Good luck!

ActionScript 3.0 Flash video gallery Tweak

Hi,
Is there a way to remove the 2nd filter option on the
ActionScript 3.0 Flash video gallery ?
Sadly our coding guru is away on holiday and we need to try
and find a solution asap.
(commenting section out etc just makes it fall over)
Any help would be most appreciated.

Beg- Flash Remoting vs ???

I own Studio 8 (MX 2004 I believe), and have not used Flash
before, though I am a good C programmer, ok in Javascript. I have
written a few mashup style apps in the browser with XMLHTTPRec. I
want to make a very simple Flash 'widget' for people to put on
their own web sites.
The 'widget' will be only a line of input text, and a few
lines of "dynamic text" (I just looked that up in Flash docs), and
a button. The user enters a line of text (an address), clicks the
button, and a the dynamic lines are completed. Do I need another
product for this, eg Flash Remoting? the $999 price makes me think
not. So, where do I look to get started on this Very Simple Flash
project. thanks in advance -Brian

so... with a lot of book work, I have gotten somewhere with
this project... I still have no results yet, though.
I have a small 1 frame movie, with a
TextInput,<addrInput>
Button,<doItButton>
DynamicText,<addrResult_fld>
XMLConnector,<dataConn>
in the button, I have the following Action:
onClipEvent(mouseDown) {
trace("doTrigger()");
dataConn.trigger();
In the base Frame (?) I have
xmlListener.result = function( evt:Object ) {
trace( "results:" );
trace( evt.target.results );
trace( "" );
xmlListener.status function( evt:Object ) {
trace( "status::"+evt.code );
The XMLConnector params are:
url: a localhost cgi that works
direction: receive
ignoreWhite: ttrue
mult: false
suppressInvalidCalls: false
I see the trigger happen in the trace(), but nothing else...
Hints Please!!
thanks

Web Host can't get Flash Remoting to work

Please help this non-technical client get my website up,
please!
I have had an application developed and my programmers have
utilized FlashRemoting.
I have seen the application working on one web host's testing
server, but we had to move it because of tech support issues.
This new host has told me that they've installed Flash
Remoting, but my programmers say it is not installed properly.
(The say it must be installed, not copied into wwwroot)
One very confusing issue is this:
1. A testing link using my domain name pointing to a
flashremoting sample does NOT work
http://www.investlogos.com/flashremoting/samples/asp/default.htm
2. The very same link only using my IP Address instead of my
domain name DOES work.
http://69.90.47.4/flashremoting/samples/asp/default.htm
The programmers have opened a trouble ticket asking for the
.Net environment to be installed where the domain is hosted and to
resolve the address, but no response as of yet from tech support.
Both sides are saying it isn't thier fault and I am stuck in
the middle with a website 2 months past deadline.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on, or at
least what 'side' I should harp on to get his fixed?
(...or as a last resort, can anyone tell me a REALLY good
host that supports Remoting? I'd hate to move again, but spinning
my wheels is getting me nowhere!)
Thanks to anyone who has any input.

Hi,
Since you have talked about .NET I assume that you are using
.NET as
application layer.
If yes then yes you need get .NET framework installed before
you
attempt to install the Flash Remoting.
If your sample work from IP then I can say Remoting is
installed
properly if your IP is the same where the site domain points
to.
So if the IP and the Domain are the same box then problem is
not with
the installation rather I should be with Remoting licensing
issue you
got to buy the Remoting license to use that and I guess the
demo or
Developer license is being installed there.
You can mail me if you want to discuss this to find the
solution at
[email protected]
Remove all the numeric from the email id to get the correct
one.
Good Luck

Duplicate session error using Flash Remoting from Air 3.4 Mobile Apps ( IOS and Android ) with CF10

We're getting the "duplicate session" error using Flash Remoting from Air 3.4 Mobile Apps ( IOS and Android ) with Coldfusion 10 Standard.
faultCode:Server.Processing.DuplicateSessionDetected faultString:'Detected duplicate HTTP-based FlexSessions,
generally due to the remote host disabling session cookies.
Session cookies must be enabled to manage the client connection correctly.' faultDetail:'null'
Have read most of the docs about this error -all to do with LCDS
Notes:
Not using LCDS,
No Remote Calls from loaded Sub-Apps,
No Errors from the Flex Web App which is pretty much identical and calls the same cfcs.
The error does not happen all the time and is hard to reproduce - say 5% of app sessions at a guess.
Could it be a two first time remote calls hitting the server together before a session is set up?
Our remoteObjects are in two places 1) Main Application.mxml and within a class compiled into the main app - can't see how this would be an issue.
I enabled session management for the CFCs in Application.cfc but still occurs. Is this neccessary - it's not in any docs?
Could this be something to do with the app not being shut down - as is typical with mobile users? When they resume use after a day or two surely a new session will be created?
Please advise thank you.

For our profect I think this issue was caused as follows:
Believing that remoting was full asynchronous we fired a 2 or 3 remote calls to the server at the same time ( within the same function ) - usually when the users goes to a new section of the app.
This seemed to trigger the duplicate http session error since according to http://blogs.adobe.com/lin/2011/05/duplication-session-error.html two remote calls arriving before a session is created will cause 2 sessions to be created.
Our current solution ( too early to say it works ) is to daisy chain the multiple calls together .
Also there seemed to be an issue where mobile apps that never quit ( thanks Apple! ) caused the error when activated after a few hours.
I guess the session expires on the server and the error above occurs on activation.
So the mobile apps now ping the server with a remote call when activated after sleeping for more than one hour.
All duplicate http errors are silently caught and reported.
Fingers crossed we won't get any more!

Flash remoting uses ?

Can someone please give me a real world example of where it
is far better to use Flash remoting rather than URLLoader or
HTTPService.
I am just trying to understand clearly what projects would be
better implementing remoting.
Thanks.

Hi,
What I do is to fire a button with logout url like:
navigateToURL( new URLRequest( 'index.cfm?logout=1'), '_self' )
How do you check in your app the 30 minutes idle?
Thanks
Johnny

HELP: Problem using AS3 and CF-Flash Remoting CFC

I am trying to use CF flash remoting from an AS3 Class using
the NetConnection class. The approach I am using is directly from
"ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook" by Joey Lott et. al.
I am using a totally standard default install of CF, Flex and
SQL server on Windows 2003 R2.
When I do a CF Flash remoting call using,
_netConnection = new NetConnection();
_netConnection.connect('
http://pordev2.wcrt.xeroxlabs.com:8500/flashservices/gateway/');
_netResponder = new Responder(onGotData, onGotError);
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest);
all seems OK. The CFC returns the integer and string just
fine.
HOWEVER, when I also add an associative array, "aa", to the
string of arguments, I get an error...
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest, aa);
returns the error: "Unknown object type tag (17)"
The same error is also returned if "aa" is an XML variable
instead of an associative array.
So:
a) Is this a bug?
b) Is there an AS3 specific gateway I should have referenced?
c) Is Flash Remoting not yet supported in AS3?
Thanks you for your time,
Ned
=================================================================
Here is my test code:
<cfcomponent displayname="ProjValuationRemote"
hint="Returns an array of Project Header, Valuation and supporting
data recordsets">
<cffunction access="remote" name="getProjValuationData"
output="false" returntype="String">
<cfargument name="test1" type="numeric" required="no"
default=1>
<cfargument name="test2" type="string" required="no"
default = "a default string">
<cfargument name="AA" type="Struct" required="no">
<cfset testReturn = #test2# & ": TESTING -- This is
the return integer: " & #test1#>
<cfreturn testReturn>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>
public function requestVRD():void {
var strtest:String = "Simple test string";
var aa:Object = new Object();
aa.curDataSet = 86;
aa.curYear = 2007;
_netConnection = new NetConnection();
_netConnection.connect('
http://pordev2.wcrt.xeroxlabs.com:8500/flashservices/gateway/');
_netResponder = new Responder(onGotData, onGotError);
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest);
private function onGotData(re:String):void {
// arVRD = re;
trace(re);
returnString = re;
trace("got remote data response");
private function onGotError(error:Object):void {
trace("Executing the gotProjectData_Fault: " +
error.description);
trace("Executing the gotProjectData_Fault -- no detail");
// setErrorAlert();
This works as expected producing the following trace:
Simple test string: TESTING -- This is the return integer: 1
Replacing the remote with the following, which adds an array
to the parameter list...
_netConnection.call("porTechDB.PorComponents.ProjValuationRemote.getProjValuationData",
_netResponder, 1, strtest, aa);
Produces the following error:
Executing the gotProjectData_Fault: Unknown object type tag
(17)

I didn't think so,
We are putting together ads with alot of images with that 40k limit
so the images don't look great.
I was trying to find the best way to work with the images, while keeping it as simple as possible.
Oh.... your right I was hoping to slowly introduce my associates into AS3, I thought If this could be done
It woud be a great tool to introduce them to, but no
Thank you for your time and feedback

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

Sorry it took me a few days to get this up but here you go.

Flash Remoting not working with CFERROR tags

I need help and can't find out what's going on. I developed
an app with CF7 and Flash Remoting and everything works fine, but
as soon as I add an error-handling<CFERROR> tag to my
Application.cfc file, Flash Remoting no longer works. It's almost
like it can't connect to the gateway anymore or something is
blocking it. When I remove the <CFERROR> tag in the
Application.cfc file, everything works fine again. I really need to
find a solution to this, any ideas???
(CFMX7/SQL Server2000/Window 2003 Server)
Here's my Application.cfc code:

I have attached the actionscript for the data connection. The
odd thing about this issue is some of the data is being displayed
from the webservice call and then some is not. The drop down list
is not being populated but I am getting some text in a textarea
that is on the form. My datasource is a SQL Server database and in
ColdFusion administrator, I used the actual machine name to point
to the datasource because it is directly linked to my web server.
This configuration is the one giving me problems. If I change the
datasource to my test SQL Server (server.somewhere.com) it works
fine. Does this help any?
