How do I handle the method calls? For example: <mx:RemoteObjectAMF0 id="myAMF" endpoint="http://localhost/amfphp/gateway.php"; result="myResultFunction( event.result )" fault="myFaultFunction( event.fault )" />
How would I make: myAMF.getUsers( myParam ); turn into the NetConnection.call ?? I mean "getUsers" is not defined in the RemoteObjectAMF0 so how do I handle translating getUsers into a real call through a instance of NetConnection? I saw the AS __resolve function, is this the ticket? I am showing my inexperience but I can only grow by asking.
