macromedia flash flash remoting: Hi all,

I'm hoping someone has an idea what's going on.

I am using Flash MX 2004 Professional on OS X, 10.3.4. I installed the flash
remoting components (version 2).

When I try to publish the file, I get a debug message that says, "Identifier
Expected." The debug cites line 1, which reads:

import mx.remoting.*;

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the components, to no avail. The
installer always says it performed the install successfully. I have tried this
on two machines (450 G4, and a 1.6 G5).

I'm not sure if this is related, but after each install of the components, I
must trash the two Flash preference files, or Flash will freeze up. This also
happens on both machines.

Any solutions, or even shots in the dark would be appreciated.

Thanks.

To use the Remoting Classes unzip the contents of RemotingSourceCode.zip
into the folder

[Flash MX 2004]\en\First Run\classes

Delete the .aso files from the user profiles folder and restart Flash MX
2004

Hi Giorgio,

Thank you so much for the link. I did it exactly as it said, but still no
luck. I get the same error. I even restarted the entire machine after deleting
the .aso files.

One descrepency is that on OS X, there is no "user profiles" folder.

I performed a search for any other locations of .aso files, and found none. Is
there, perhaps, any other location I need to delete something from?

I did delete the Flash preferences files, as well.

Thanks again, Giorgio. And if anyone else has any ideas, please chip in. This
problem has me reverting to the old loadMovie/onData method... ugh!

Charles,

Did you drag instances of the remoting classes on to your movie stage?

In Flash, navigate to: Window -> Other Panels -> Common Libraries -> Remoting

Drag both of the library items on to your stage and try testing your movie
again.

Hope that helps -
