Hello World

Microsoft ASP.NET Servers

Flash Remoting is available as a standalone product for Microsoft ASP.NET servers.

It allows remote services to be deployed as:

• ASP.NET pages (.aspx pages)

• DLL libraries (in the local assembly cache)

• .NET executables

• SOAP-based web services

Flash Remoting does not work with “classic” ASP pages. You must

have the ASP.NET framework running on your server. To run the

ASP.NET framework you need IIS 5.0 or later, running on Windows

2000 Professional, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP Professional,

or Windows Server 2003 (a.k.a. Windows .NET Server).

Hello World

An introduction to any technology would not be complete without a “Hello World”

example. This will give you some hands-on experience with the client-side and

server-side code before diving into details. It also provides a sound basis for explor-

ing Flash Remoting on your own.

First, we will look at the Flash code necessary to call the remote service, which is vir-

tually the same regardless of which server-side technology implements the service.

We will then look at the server-side code implemented in ColdFusion, Server-Side

ActionScript, Java, ASP.NET, PHP, and as a SOAP-based web service.

The examples throughout the book assume that you have Flash

Remoting installed and configured on your server, and that you have

installed the Flash Remoting components for Flash MX. Chapter 2

covers Flash Remoting installation and configuration in more detail.

Flash ActionScript Code

The client-side ActionScript is virtually the same for each server-side service exam-

ple. The only things that change are the path to the remote service when it is imple-

mented as a web service and the path to the Flash Remoting gateway, which varies

depending on the server implementation.

The client-side ActionScript code shown in Example 1-1 should be inserted on the

first frame of the main timeline of a Flash movie, as shown in Figure 1-4.
