var service:Service = new Service(null, null, ‘HelloWorld’, conn);

to become:

var service:Service = new Service(null, null, ‘HelloWorld’, conn, this);

That seemed to do the trick for me.

try to publish for Flash 7 to see if it fix the type mismatch error. If so when publishing for Flash 8 define service like this :
[code]
var service:Service = new mx.remoting.Service(gatewayUrl, null, ‘HelloWorld’);
[/code]
Seems AS2 in Flash8 doesn’t understand well ‘new Service’ it needs ‘new mx.remoting.Service’ for not issuing a type error… I eventually ran amok before seeing this page : http://yawoong.com/board/view.php?id=tutorial_kidari70&no=127

Damn it, it’s so easy actually.. and I was looking for such a long time for a solution!

Thanks guys.

var gatewayUrl:String = “http://dev.caleb.org/amfphp/gateway.php”
var conn:Connection = new Connection();
conn.onStatus = function( info ):Void
{
if (info == undefined) {
trace(”The host can’t be reached”);
} else {
trace(”onStatus: ” + info.code);
}
}
conn.connect(gatewayUrl);
var service:Service = new Service(null, null, ‘HelloWorld’, conn);
var pc:PendingCall = service.say(”Hello world!”);
pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this, “handleResult”, “handleError”);
function handleResult(re:ResultEvent)
{
trace(’The result is: ‘ + re.result);
}
function handleError(fe:FaultEvent)
{
trace(’There has been an error’);
}

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for sharing this code! I wouldn’t have known about this issue otherwise.

Unfortunately, I just can’t get it to work properly. Adding ‘this’ as the last parameter for the service call will return a ‘type mismatch’ compiler error, and simply removing it (or adding a valid responder param) doesn’t do anything at all (as in no RPC code gets executed). Changing to a valid gateway path does get things rolling again, although onStatus() never gets called either way.

I am using version 9.0r28 of the flash player. My code differs slightly from yours in that I’m adding a logger as a second parameter to my service call (in case this makes any difference).

Thanks for your time, and good luck on your business trip!

You are accurate in your observation that no status information is being dispatched with the onStatus method invocation. I’ll add that to my list of fixes to address when time permits … thanks for the comment
