Re: [flexcoders] RemotingConnection not found in Mike Potter's Flex2AMFPHP tutorial

[Phil Marston]

Hi Duncan, I think you're getting into some specifics to do with your setup I can't answer.  I've only briefly touched F1.5 and am really only learning F2.0 just now as well. I'm busy trying to follow the restaurant example while coding for Flex 2.0 and AMFPHP (which is an interesting learning curve), but I take from it that if you create your RemoteObject based on the info at the amfphp.org site you should be able to follow the rest of the restaurant tut OK. As regards "how would I for example define a fully qualified source" I'm not sure what you mean, but if you use Mike's example of a service and put it in your amfphp installations service directory - so the php class is fooService and the filename is fooService you would configure the RemoteObject source attribute to be fooService.  As for args I'm not sure on restrictions, but I would've thought sending a VO would be better.  The nature of using remoting and AMFPHP is that you can send actionscript objects and the remoting handles turning into the appropriate object for the language at the other end (PHP in this case) you service can then take the properties and do with them as you will, instead of args.  Does that make sense or even help? As for http and amf I think they're two different things - the way I think of it is that amf is your object expressed as a sort of binary form of xml (a bitstream or something) and http is the protocol used to send it.  I may be wrong though!  There are far more knowledgeable people on this list that could clarify that. HTH Phil Duncan McMillan wrote: Thanks Phil I have further questions if you don't mind: So I get from your "restaurant" link below that I have to use the RemoteObject within Flex, but it says that these are used to reference Java objects in the Java application server. But what I need is to reference a php service in an XAMPP Apache server on the same labtop as my Java application with Flex 1.5. So I take it that the info in the "otherplatforms" link will do this if I specify the gateway in the RemoteObject tab and the php service in the source? So how would I for example define a fully qualified source under my XAMPP apache server for instance? and am I restricted to the amount of args I reference? This example also says that the protocol is http, do I not want to output in AMF to be quicker? Thanks for your patience Duncan Phil Marston wrote On 06/07/06 14:49,: If you're using F1.5 also check out this tut I found yesterday http://coenraets.com/tutorials/restaurant/index.jsp - handy for F2.0 as well if you've done Mike's tut HTH Phil Phil Marston wrote: Hi Duncan, The .as file does go at the same level as the .mxml file, but I don't think it'll work with 1.5 because the class libraries are different - RemotingConnection extends NetConnection and the whole structure of remoting seems to be different in Flex 2.0 There's stuff on the AMFPHP site though about Flex 1.5 at the bottom of this page http://www.amfphp.org/docs/otherplatforms.html - if you get a 404 error just keep trying the server seems to be a bit flakey. HTH Phil Duncan McMillan wrote: Phil So do you mean that you put this RemotingConnection.as file in the same DIR as the mxml file? I'm using Flex 1.5 and this example is not working for me and complaining about the same thing. I've also tried to take the package declaration out (as I'm not sure if Flex1.5 likes package declarations) and it still doesn;t work Thanks again Duncan Phil Marston wrote On 06/02/06 12:01,: OK - so looks like I dumb! For those of you who also turn out to be dumb ;-p when Mike speaks about you already having RemotingConnection.as at the root of your project you actually need to save the follow package code as RemotingConnection.as and then you WILL have it! I've wasted a day and half on this! jeesh HTH someone else Phil Marston wrote: I think I've traced it to not having the flash.net.* package installed (though Flex Builder isn't throwing a complaint about that it does say it doesn't know where it is) where can I get this package/library? cheers, Phil Phil Marston wrote: Hi, I thought I'd seen this covered somewhere but cant find it. I'm trying Mike Potter's tutorials on Flex2 and PHP and AMFPHP found here http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex_Framework:tutorials:flex2_AMFPHP and Flex is throwing a wobbly about the line; public var gateway : RemotingConnection; with the error Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: RemotingConnection. Can anyone shed light on this or point me in the right direction?
