Using server-side ActionScript functions
After you connect to the Flash Remoting service, you call functions that are defined in your server-side ActionScript
files, and return results.
Call a function
1
Create an instance of the server-side ActionScript file using the
getService
function. This function instantiates
the server-side ActionScript file as an object to use on the client side. For example:
albumService = gatewayConnection.getService("recordsettest", this)
Where
recordsettest
represents the name of the server-side ActionScript file, without the filename extension
.asr
.
2
Call a function defined in your server-side ActionScript object. Use dot notation to specify the object name followed
by the function name; for example:
albumService.getAlbum("The Color And The Shape", "1999");
Where
albumService
is the instance of the server-side ActionScript file and
getAlbum
is a function that passes two
arguments,
"The Color and The Shape"
and
"1999"
.
Note:
Arguments must occur in the order defined in the function declaration.
3
Handle the function results in ActionScript. See “
Using the function results in ActionScript
” on page 692.
Using the function results in ActionScript
To use the results returned by server-side ActionScript, create a corresponding
results function
. The results function
uses a special naming convention that ties it to the function that calls the server-side ActionScript. For example, if you
defined a client-side ActionScript function called
basicCustomerQuery
, you also must create a results function called
basicCustomerQuery_Result
.
The results returned by server-side ActionScript functions differ somewhat depending on whether you are using
CF.http
or
CF.query
:
•
The
CF.query
function returns a record set, which you manipulate using methods available in the RecordSet
ActionScript class object. See
Using results returned by the CF.query function
section.
•
The
CF.http
function returns simple text strings through properties that you reference in your server-side
ActionScript. See
Using results returned by the CF.http function
section.
Using results returned by the CF.query function
You use functions in the RecordSet ActionScript object to access the data returned in a
CF.query
record set; for
example, how many records are in the record set and the names of the columns. You can also use the RecordSet
functions to pull the query data out of the record set. To do so, you reference a specific row number in the record set
and use the
getItemAt
RecordSet function, as in the following example:
// This function populates a Flash text box with data in the first row
// of the record set under the "email" column name.
function selectData_Result ( result )
{
stringOutput.text = result.getItemAt(0)["email"];
_root.employeesView.setDataProvider(result);
}
In the example, the column name is referenced in the
getItemAt
function between square brackets [ ]. (In
ActionScript, indexes start at 0, so
getItemAt(0)
returns the first row.)
