Flash Remoting is a way for Flash movies running in a web browser to
|
|
request structured data from the web server. The following data types
|
|
are supported - strings, numbers, dates, arrays, dictionaries/hashes,
|
|
objects, recordsets. Flash clients talk with the server using the AMF
|
|
protocol, which is proprietary to Macromedia. However, it's not that
|
|
hard to decode.
|
|
|
|
Using Flash::FLAP it is possible to send arbitrary data between client
|
|
and server using very few lines of code. There is no need to pack
|
|
complicated data structures into CGI form parameteres or XML strings.
|
|
The coding time can be spent on better things - data preparation and
|
|
graphical presentation, not data delivery.
