There are alot of ways to connect to a remote service in Flex / Flash.
You can do it tag based:
Actionscript:
-
<mx:Application
-
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
-
layout="absolute">
-
-
<mx:RemoteObject id="blazeService" fault="onFault(event)" source="hello.Hello" endpoint="http://localhost:8400/hello/messagebroker/amf/" destination="Hello">
-
<mx:method name="sayHello" result="onResult(event)" />
-
</mx:RemoteObject>
-
-
<mx:Script>
-
-
<![CDATA[
-
import mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel;
-
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
-
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
-
-
private function onResult(e:ResultEvent):void {
-
trace("Result" + e.result);
-
}
-
-
private function onFault(e:FaultEvent):void {

trace("fault");

Today I attended an online meeting where Tom Jordahl of Adobe presented BlazeDS.
Here is a description of BlazeDS provided by Tom Jordahl:
Recently Adobe announced the release of BlazeDS which will make some key server technologies open source and free to use in any application. These technologies are critical to building great applications with Flex and AIR. Tom will talk about exactly what you get in BlazeDS and how it relates to LiveCycle Data Services and will detail some of the reasons why you might want to use these server technologies. He will also explain how ColdFusion developers can take advantage of BlazeDS in their applications.
The presentation lasted almost an hour and it was really fun. It was a great presentation and I'm looking forward for another BlazeDS related presentation.
The whole meeting was recorded. If you're interested, you can view the presentation here.
