AFAIK, there are no technotes on this issue (and related issues like Flash Remoting) or they're well hidden somewhere ;-)
The issue has come up here before.. And here's are some (unanswered) topics on the Adobe Flash Forums about webservices and remoting http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=250&threadid=1264156 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=288&threadid=1263696 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=194&threadid=1272741 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=194&threadid=1261146 http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=15&catid=194&threadid=1266127 The only Adobe response I could find is from Bentley Wolfe, posted on 04/19/2007 where he says: <quote>We're working on a TechNote covering this, expected next week.</quote> I don't know how long a week is at Adobe, but over here it's 7 days ;-) Bentley also points to this example as a solution/replacement for AS3 Flash Remoting http://www.oscartrelles.com/archives/as3_flash_remoting_example There's already a few open source implemetations available on osflash.org Super Simple Remoting: http://osflash.org/projects/ssr AS3 Lightweight Remoting Framework: http://osflash.org/as3lrf With all that said, I think that having an "official" remoting implementation, like there was for previous Flash versions, would be desired. On top of that, there's no AS2 Remoting Component package for Flash CS3. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashremoting/downloads/components/ So in order to use AS2 Remoting in Flash CS3, one has to go and look for all the required classes/debugger/docs in the Flash 8 config and copy them over manually (or keep Flash 8 around for AS2 projects). Once again I think a few - important - things have been overlooked with this new Flash release. no Webservices no Remoting (part from using NetConnection) no Data components (WebServiceConnector, XMLConnector, RemotingConnector, DataHolder, DataSet..) no Tree component no Accordion component no Alert component no Window component no DateChooser component no DateField component no Menu component no Menubar component Guess it's time to dump Flash.. long live Flex ;-) regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Dowdell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Friday, July 06, 2007 9:05 PM Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] WebServices support in AS3/FLCS3 > Enrique Chvez wrote: >> What happened with the webservices classes in AS3/Flash CS3? i can't >> believe they are gone. > > I asked Product Manager Richard Galvan about this earlier this week, and I'll > ping him today face-to-face to confirm.
