Building a simple application

The following procedure describes how to build a simple server-side ActionScript application. The example application, a corporate personnel directory, uses the NetServices object to connect to the personneldirectory server-side ActionScript. The personneldirectory server-side ActionScript retrieves data from a ColdFusion MX data source and returns the results to the Flash movie as a RecordSet object.

Note: The server-side ActionScript application that you create provides the back-end services in an application.

This example requires the following:

A server-side ActionScript file named personneldirectory.asr that includes functions that interact with a ColdFusion MX data source.
A client-side Flash MX movie in which the NetServices object is created.

To create the application:

Write server-side ActionScript that performs the database query and returns data to the client through the Flash Remoting service.
Create the Flash movie interface. See Creating the Flash movie interface.
Define a search function that sends user data to the Flash Remoting service. See Submitting user data to the Flash Remoting service.
Define a result function that captures the results returned from the Flash Remoting service. See .
Ensure that the Flash movie has established a connection to the Flash Remoting service. See Checking for a Flash Remoting service connection.
