Calling Flash Remote Service in Flash with Zend amf

Steps:

1. Download Zend amf library and put it into your htdocs (www root) folder.
2. Create a Gateway.php for connection
3. Create your service using php
4. Connect to service using ActionScript in TestService.fla
5. Run the TestService.fla

Step 1:

1. Download Zend amf library: http://framework.zend.com/download/amf
2. Unzip and put the Zend folder into your htdocs folder

Step 2:

1. Create a folder named “service” under htdocs.
2. Create a Gateway.php under htdocs.
3. Gateway.php:

<?php
	require('./Zend/Amf/Server.php');
	//require('./services/HowAreYou.php');
	
	$server = new Zend_Amf_Server();
	$server->addDirectory(dirname(__FILE__) .'/services/');
	//$server->setClass('HowAreYou');
	$response = $server->handle();
	echo $response;
?>

Step 3:

1. Create your remote service “HowAreYou.php” under “service” folder



2. HowAreYou.php

<?php
class HowAreYou{
    /*
     * @param  string $receiveMsg
     * @return string $replyMsg
     */
	function sendStr($yourname){
		return "$yourname, 你好！";
	} 
}
?>

Step 4:

1. Write ActionScript in your TestService.fla file



2. In TestService.fla

stop();
var connection:NetConnection; // Initialize NetConnection Object
var responder:Responder;  // Initialize Responder Object
 
//Construct Instance
responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);  // Show Receive Data
connection = new NetConnection; 
// Setting
var gateway:String = "http://localhost/Gateway.php"; 
connection.connect(gateway);  // Connect to Zend amf
// Data Receieve
function onResult(Result:String):void { 
   trace(Result);
}
// Fail
function onFault():void {  
    trace("Connection Fail");
}
// Call Remoting Service's Method: (Class.Method, reaonder, parameter)
connection.call("HowAreYou.sendStr",responder,"your_message");

Step 5:

1. Test(Run) your TestService.fla



2. you will receive “your_message,你好!”  on the output window

Produce Random Number with ActionScript

Catch Keyboard Event (Key Down) with ActionScript

// catch Key Down Event

stage.addEventListener( KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, KeyDownEventHandler);

function KeyDownEventHandler(e:KeyboardEvent ){
    trace(e.charCode);
    trace(e.keyCode);

    if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.UP){
        // use keyCode to detect special key

    }
    else if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.DOWN){
    }
    else if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.LEFT){
    }
    else if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.RIGHT){
    }
    else if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.SPACE){
    }
    else if( e.keyCode == Keyboard.SHIFT){
    }
    else if( e.charCode == 98){
        // b, ascii code = 98

        // use charCode to detect character
    }
    else if( e.charCode == 108){
        // l
    }
    else if( e.charCode == 97){
        // a
    }
    else if( e.charCode == 65){
        // A
    }
    else if( e.charCode == 118){
        // v
    }
    else if( e.charCode == 114){
        // r
    }
    else{

}

Using Global Variable in Flex

 

1. Declare the global variable in the main .mxml file.

 

In the main .mxml file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:WindowedApplication xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="TryAS()">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            public var bookSize:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0,0,800,600);

            public function TryAS():void{
                trace("Hello World");
            }
       ]]>
    </mx:Script>
</mx:WindowedApplication>

2.Use Application.application.yourGlobalVariableName to access the variable.

 

In the .as class you write :

import mx.core.Application;

// Application.application.yourGlobalVariableName

Application.application.bookSize.width
