Ok, this may seem like a stupid question (for Flash Developers) but I really can’t figure this out. So, I want to create somekind of an API for Flash/Flex applications so a user can use my lib in order to connect to my WebOrb Rails server.
I don’t have any problem with the rails part but things get a little bit difficult with the flash part.
So, I saw from the example that Flex is using the RemoteObject to connect/retrieve data. The question is how can I create a Flash file that connects/retrieves data from WebOrb (i couldn’t find the RemoteObject – is an include I should make?).
If that is not possible, can I create some sort of library in Flex, that can be linked in Flash in order to achieve the same result?
Thx
What you’re looking for is most likely the
NetConnectionActionscript class. Depends on the format of your API though. If it’s just XML over HTTP, you could easily just use theURLLoaderclass as well.NetConnection link text
