macromedia flash flash remoting:

Hi All,

there a couple of other topics here that touch on my problem but aren't quite
the same .. have got flash 8pro installed, and ran the flash remoting setup for
flash 8 ... however whenever i attempt to put:
#include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as"

into my flash files it just throws me an error saying that they can't be
found. (same with the DataGlue too). Now all these files do indeed exist, and
they are located in the following directory:

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\First Run\Classes\mx\remoting

Can anyone throw any light on how to get this damn thing working ? I have been
trying all day, my actionscript is limited and my remoting is nil .. as i'm
just learning, is it really this difficult for everyone ???

Thanks in advance.

just to go along with my original post on this subject ... I am also using
coldfusion mx 7, which has native remoting support. Everything would appear to
be ok on that end of things. It's definately something to do with either the
..as file being in the wrong spot, or even just that some other files are have
just configured completely wrong during the install.

Have tried removing absolutely everything a couple of times now, thinking it
might be just using some old stored paths but still no luck. Am still looking
though

Be sure that the following files are located in C:\Documents and Settings\(user
name)\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash
8\en\Configuration\Include:

DataGlue.as
NetDebug.as
NetServices.as
NetDebugConfig.as
NetDebugEvents.as
NetDebugHelpers.as
NetDebugImpl.as
NetDebugLocalConnection.as
NetDebugNetConnection.as
RecordSet.as
RsDataProviderClass.as

I copied these from my MX 2004 and my flash apps that use AS 1.0 compile now
in Flash 8.

i don't even actually have some of those files at all .. anywhere.
if i put this: import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug and
import mx.remoting.services.Service for example it tells me there's no errors
in my script ....
#include "NetDebug.as" still wouldn't work or #include "Services.as"

Is the import method cool to use ? and mean that it's working, all beit quirky
?

Cheers,
Mark

I was reading through Flash 8 help and it said the NetServices.as is
depricated. It also seems that there is no longer any support for ActionScript
1.0 in Flash 8, so that may be why NetServices.as does not work.

I am trying to use ColdFusion as a back end to a Flash project. Does anyone
know where there may be some good tutorials or documentation about the new
ActionScript syntax for remoting with Flash 8?

Thanks:cool;

Visit

and download the Flash 8 remoting components. Make sure that if you have
copied any previous remoting components or tried to install an older version of
the components (i.e. Flash Remoting MX or MX 2004), you must uninstall/remove
these first.

shellman33 - I tried your solution and F8 gives me 11 syntax errors for NetServices.as.

I have the same problem.

I have uninstalled everything and tried everything I can think of and onboth my PCs I get the same problem.

Has anyone managed to solve this issue ??

I cant actually find this folder at all.
Is it because of my settings ???

well this is just bloody fantastic.

I went back to my old version and now it wont work.

Flash 8 is just great -NOT.

Yea NetServices.as NetDebug.as are associated with Remoting AS1, the remoting
install for flash 8 is Remoting AS 2, so those files are not included in the
install. So if you don't have the AS 1 Remoting files from MX, you will need
to switch to Remoting AS 2, witch imho is easier and more reliable.

It won't work with FL8 but FL MX could be fixed.Download this

http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashremoting/mx2004/components/actionscript_
2.0/flashremoting_comp_sourcecode.zip
unzip into C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\en\First Run\Classes\mx
and then remove from your source code #include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as" ....then Ctrl+Enter :) Cheers!
