Typed Objects from AS2 to .NET Assembly

Try registering the class inside the value object's constructor rather than inside your search command like so.


class com.search.SearchVO {
   
    public function SearchVO(){
        Object.registerClass("com.search.SearchVO", SearchVO);
    }
}

Not really sure if that should make a difference. Also noticing that you aren't using com.TheSilentGroup.Fluorine in your service. Although I'm not actually sure why I've got that in my implementation as I don't see it being used. Perhaps it just got left there at some point. It's been a couple years since I've looked at this code.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your responses, and I have spent the last few days pouring over the docs, and what I’m trying to do is send a custom class object FROM Actionscript (via Flash 8/AS2) to a .NET Assembly (2.0). Rather than talk theory, here’s my code:

 

AS2 Flash, Sample App – on the frame:

import mx.remoting.Service;

import mx.remoting.PendingCall;

import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;

import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;

import Fluorine.Stuff;

Object.registerClass("Fluorine.Stuff", Fluorine.Stuff);

var stuff:Stuff = new Stuff();

stuff.Name = "Ed";

var remotingService:Service = new Service('http://localhost/fluorine/gateway.aspx', null, 'Fluorine.FlashRemoting');

var pc:PendingCall = remotingService.Hello(stuff);

pc.responder = new RelayResponder(_root, "FlashRemoting_onSuccess", "FlashRemoting_onFault");

function FlashRemoting_onFault(fault)

{

       trace("Error: " + fault.fault.faultstring);

}

function FlashRemoting_onSuccess(re:ResultEvent)

{

       trace("Success! : " + re.result);

}

 

============================

AS2 Custom/Object Class:

class Fluorine.Stuff

{

       private var _name:String;

       public function get Name():String {return _name;}

       public function set Name(param_name:String):Void {_name = param_name;}

 

       public function Stuff(){}

}

 

============================

C# Remoting Reception Class:

using System;

namespace Fluorine

{

    public class FlashRemoting

    {

        public string Hello(Stuff s)

        {

            return s.Name;

        }

    }

}

 

============================

C# Custom/Object Class:

using System;

namespace Fluorine

{

    public class Stuff

    {

        private string _name;

        public string Name

        {

            get { return _name; }

            set { _name = value; }

        }

        public Stuff() {}

    }

}

 

============================

Web.config:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<configuration>

    <appSettings/>

    <connectionStrings/>

    <system.web>

        <compilation debug="true" />

        <authentication mode="Windows" />

      <httpModules>

        <add name="FluorineGateway" type="com.TheSilentGroup.Fluorine.FluorineGateway, com.TheSilentGroup.Fluorine"/>

      </httpModules>

    </system.web>

</configuration>

 

 

The result is: “Success! : null”

 

Some notes here…

Both the AS and C# custom objects reside in the same namespace/package location.

Debugging from the Visual Studio side, the name of the property come thru (both private and public: _name and Name), but the value is null, on both.

 

Now, with Macromedia’s Remoting the C# side would expect the type “ASObject” and use reflection, then convert to the custom object. I’m assuming this is done within Fluorine via the “classMappings.”

 

I’m beginning to think just sending primitives is the way to go, because when I send an object, or strings, the remoting works as documented.

 

(BTW: I’m not using Flex… flash.net.registerClassAlias doesn’t apply here)

 

Please, give this a try, and see if you don’t get the same results I have.

 

Any insight would be very much appreciated… thanks folks

Hi Ed -

I'd be happy to send you an old project if you like. I'll need to pull out some client related stuff though. It would require that you spend some time sorting through my implementation to see what is different, but I know this project works. Let me know.

Thanks Peter, but I’ve tried both of these as well… no dice. Placing the “registerClass” in the object class itself is less clumsy.

 

I’ve worked with Flash Remoting for years, but only the Macromedia implementation… I’d really like to make the switch, and this is just an experiment with Fluorine. I’ve looked at the PizzaService example code and what I’m doing is no different.

 

I realize it’s been years since most of the readers of this list have had to handle this… and that Flash 8/AS2 has fallen out of vogue… but at its core, I’d hope that Fluorine would still work for this setup.

 

I’ve even traced (via ServiceCapture)  the remoting request, which is just: Name: [parameter 1] _name; Type: Fluorine.Stuff String; Value: Ed    : and the Response: Name: [result]; Type: null; Value: null

 

If you wanna test my code, the gateway is: http://edhaack.net/fluorine/gateway.aspx

 

Again, thanks for any constructive insight.
