Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / August 2004Flash Remoting Book
I just bought the O'Reilly Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide. This book, however, doesn't seem to cover AS2, and the examples I am doing are not working, since the UI Components I have are not the same as the ones used in the book. Could someone suggest a book that I can use to learn Flash Remoting (coming from a CFML background). Thanks! well ... I am coming from a cfml background and have found this book to be pretty good aand all of the examples work. which version of flash are you using? are you testing the files locally or are you using an isp? does the isp supporting remoting (CFMX and Flash MX)? they have to have the components installed. I've only been up to page 106, but the code works up to that point. it was a bit frusturating at first, but turn on the window debug thing and ctrl + enter ... it should tell you what isn't working. as far as it not being as 2.0 ... that 's okay probably ... many languages are backwards compatible ... not sure ... but maybe this book gives a pretty thourough explanation of remoting though, and even though I'm super new to flash ... I could follow it .. best of luck .. which tutorials are not working or which components don't you have? I see there is a tutorial for the datagrid (which I think is in DRK 1) ... that is the only one I see so far that doesn't have the components. Are you using Action Script 2.0 and the new UI components? Or Action Script 1.0 with the old UI Components? I suppose I am using as 1.0 and old components. bu then again I am using flash mx versus mx2004. not sure when as 2.0 came out, why it wouldn't be backwards compatible with as 1.0 (like how cfmx uses tags used in cf 4.0) I'm pretty unfamiliar with actionscript so, I;m not sure which version I'd be using. what are the differences between 1.0 and 2.0 (aside from more features maybe in 2.0) is the syntax different? That is what I'm trying to figure out. None of the UI components in Flash2004 work with the AS1 code I have. I just have to figure out how to bind the UI drop downs and dynamic text areas to the CFC's return of the query. You might want to take a look at Flash MX2004 for Rich Internet Applications by Phillip Kerman. Doesn't cover Flash Remoting extensively (one chapter) and AS2 isn't used throughout the book (everything is compatible with AS2, but he doesn't use strong datatyping, etc. in the examples), but puts forth a great overview of RIA development using the new Components. There hasn't been a revision to 'Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide' book to include AS2 so online tutorials are the only current guide. I think the revision is released in Sept? If you've updated the FR AS2 Components in Flash and if you have the 7.2 update, there are quite a few examples in the Flash API to show the correct way. |
