RE: [flexcoders] Remoting Examples for Flex?

Steven,
 
As funny at it sounds, I just ordered your book from Amazon this morning - so of course, I got a good chuckle after visiting your website and seeing the book you just suggested.
 
So, I anxiously await for the book due to be delivered tomorrow - especially if it covers remoting specifically.
 
Again thanks for everything,
 
Mike

Hi Mike,
 
There is little need to do all the heavy lifting required with Flash Remoting; you've found the
Remote Object tag, and that is going to do all the work that you require.  There's really no
need to do all the work you were doing with the Remoting Calls; all the connection
management/etc is now handled for you.
 
As for being "a coding guy"; Flex was made for you .... most of us are most at home
sitting in Eclipse with our xml editors and Java perspectives, cutting MXML and
AS2.0 by hand; there's really no need to be working in a drag and drop environment if
you're not happy about that.
 
There's a free chapter download of our Flex book at http://flexbook.iterationtwo.com/
(it's linked on www.theserverside.com) that covers a lot of stuff on using RemoteObject
from a Java developers perspective.
 
Let go of NetConnection.  Stretch out with your tags.  Use the force.

Subject: [flexcoders] Remoting Examples for Flex?

Hello All,
 
I just joined this list recently - as I came over from the FlashCoders list.  I am sure most of you on this list, are also from FlashCoders, since Flex is so closely related to Flash.
 
I've been searching the Docs best I can - and I haven't found any examples or instructions on how to perform Remoting Calls from inside of Flex.  I've found the "RemoteObject" mentioned - but am not entirely sure how to use this.  I have this down to a science in MX2004 using all the Remoting AS files, etc. but I've done very little with Remoting using Components.  I am a coding guy - so this is all a little awkward, going back into a "Drag and Drop" environment - and setting all my parameters using a Property Inspectors, etc.
 
Well, if any of you could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.  Also, are there any PDF versions of the Flex 1.5 help system available yet - just like they did for Flash MX?
 
Thanks for your help,
 
Mike
