Using the Flash Remoting ActionScript API in the
CustomerInfoExampleAPI application
The CustomerInfoExampleAPI application uses the ActionScript API to connect to the
customerData
remote service. This application illustrates the following features of Flash
Remoting for Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2.0:
•
Using the Service object to create a gateway connection and a reference to a remote service
•
Using the PendingCall and RelayResponder objects to specify result-handling and
fault-handling methods
•
Formatting and paging of a record set result
•
Assigning a record set to a DataGrid user interface component
•
Using event listeners to trigger refreshing of the data
You can find the CustomerInfoExampleAPI application in the following folders:
•
/Program Files/Macromedia/Flash MX 2004/en/First Run/RemotingSamples/Client
•
