macromedia flash flash remoting: :o
HI there,

Does anybody know how to handle a connection error in Flash Remoting (NOT
service error but gateway ) ?

I could not find example codes or help documentation, so I apreciate
any help.

Take a look at the code below(Flash 8 / AS.2.0):


//==============================================================================
================

import mx.services.Log;
import mx.remoting.Service;
import mx.remoting.DataGlue;
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;
import mx.remoting.RecordSet;
import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;
import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;

class Connect_ap{

function Connect_ap(){
// let?s say the link is wrong:
var link_server= "http://localhost/sites/amf/gatewwway.php";
var service="Begin";
var cone = new Service(link_server,null,service);

}

}



// After testing I noticed that If the link is wrong , the service
fault-handling function returns nothing in this case;

//==============================================================================
================

function list(){

var pcs:PendingCall = cone.list();
pcs.responder = new RelayResponder(this,"list_Result","list_Fault");
}

// * HERE *:fault-handling works only for services, not for connection errors:

function list_Fault(fault:FaultEvent){
trace("Service error:...")
trace(fault.fault.faultstring);
}


//==============================================================================
================

So, How do I handle this kind of error in an aplication ?


Thanks for any help !

I get an error on both if I change the gateway or the method so hopefully this
helps...
