Summary

You have learned some very important lessons in this tutorial:

  • You have had an introduction to the new Flash Remoting ActionScript 2.0 class syntax.
  • You built an application from an object-oriented approach instead of a procedural approach.
  • You have minimized the code required in the Flash file (FLA).
  • You've learned to use a coding structure that lends itself to using source control programs like Visual Source Safe or CVS for your ActionScript 2.0 classes.  
  • You have a clean separation between the Model, View, and Controller.

Flash Remoting is still the fastest way by a significant margin to use middleware technology to transfer recordsets into Flash when compared to web services or XML. It gives ColdFusion, ASP.NET, and Java developers opportunities to create compelling desktop-like applications that can reach over 500 million users. It gives your users incredibly interactive, rich, and efficient experiences. You can also apply standard object-oriented design patterns to accessing data by using the ActionScript 2.0 syntax and new Flash MX 2004 Flash Remoting classes.
