Any documentation for Remoting with MX 2004 Pro?


Any documentation for Remoting with MX 2004 Pro? W Gerber

macromedia flash flash remoting: Would someone please point me to the documentation for Flash remoting with MX
2004 Professional. The only documentation that I have found for Flash remoting
is "Using Flash Remoting MX". But I am using Flash MX 2004 Professional and a
decent amount of the MX documentation is outdated and flat wrong. Case in
point: Dataglue. After working hard to get that to work (because the only
documentation I have says to use it) I then find out that Dataglue doesn't work
with MX 2004 (see note at bottom).

Now I have seen some of the tutorials and walk throughs for MX 2004, which is
sometimes helpful, but this isn't documentation. The Help files that ship with
Flash don't seem to have it in there either (just try and look up Netconnection
and you do NOT get anything about remoting). I would greatly appreciate it if
someone could point me to where this documentation is. Thanks.


NOTE: This is the response from Macromedia Technical Support about using
Dataglue in MX 2004 Professional.
=================================
I see that you are having an issue upon using DataGlue component in your
Flash MX 2004, using DataGlue is not recommended in Macromedia Flash MX
2004. Instead, it is recommended that you use the data components and
integration features included with Flash MX Professional 2004. The
features that give you the same benefits as DataGlue include:
Rearrange Fields Formatter on a data binding
Calculated fields on a DataSet
Virtual fields on a Connector
Using these features in different combinations will give the same
functionality as expected with DataGlue. If you are building a read-only
application without a DataSet, you will need to use the Rearrange Fields
Formatter to bind data to your components. If you are using a DataSet,
you will need to use a calculated fields or a virtual field.

I listed a link that you can visit to help you understand more the
concepts of using these recommended alternative components.

I went out and took a look at the livedocs that you pointed to. They seem to
be for MX instead of MX 2004 professional. They talk about DataGlue and the
old components that have been replaced in 2004. I guess the "live" in
"livedocs" doesn't quite apply. Thanks for the suggestion all the same, but I
guess my quest for up to date documentation continues.

Flash Remoting for Flash MX 2004 ActionScript 2.0 has been released, and claims
to have updated the online help documentation, but I too cannot find any
documentation for using Flash Remoting and Flash 7. I am specifically looking
just for an update to the Using Components document, as I would like to know
all the properties, events, and methods of the component. The search continues?

OK I found it.

lashremoting_en.pdf

Too many sleepless nights decreases my web search acumen apparently. Either
that, or I'm another victim of Macromedia's hierarchical information nesting.
Why not include the documentation in the download? Sigh.
