Connecting to the Flash Remoting service

Before you can use functions defined in your server-side ActionScript files, you must connect the Macromedia Flash MX movie to the server-side Flash Remoting service.

To create a Flash Remoting service connection:

1. Include the necessary ActionScript classes in the first frame of the Flash movie that will be using server-side ActionScript functions.
   1. Use the following command to include the NetServices class:

      #include "NetServices.as"
      

   2. (Optional) Use the following command to include the NetDebug class:

      #include "NetDebug.as"
      

   For more information about the NetDebug and RecordSet classes, see Using Flash Remoting MX.

2. Since the Flash Remoting service serves as a broker for calls to server-side ActionScript functions, you must identify the Flash Remoting service URL as an argument in the NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl function. For example:

   NetServices.setDefaultGatewayURL("http://localhost:8500/flashservices")
   

   You must specify a server hostname. The default port number for the Flash Remoting service is 8500.

3. Create the gateway connection using the NetServices.createGatewayConnection function; for example:

   gatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
