# RemoteObject - AS3 Flex

Package | mx.rpc.remoting.mxml
Class | public dynamic class RemoteObject
Inheritance | RemoteObject RemoteObject AbstractService Proxy
Implements | IMXMLSupport, IMXMLObject

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Use the <mx:RemoteObject> tag to represent an HTTPService object in an MXML file. This tag gives you access to the methods of Java objects using Action Message Format (AMF) encoding.

The <mx:RemoteObject> tag accepts the following tag attributes:

     <mx:RemoteObject
      Properties
      concurrency="multiple|single|last"
      destination="No default."
      id="No default."
      endpoint="No default."
      showBusyCursor="false|true"
      source="No default." (currently, Adobe ColdFusion only)
      makeObjectsBindable="false|true"

      Events
      fault="No default."
      result="No default."
     />

<mx:RemoteObject> can have multiple <mx:method> tags, which have the following tag attributes:

     <mx:method
      Properties
      concurrency="multiple|single|last"
      name="No default, required."
      makeObjectsBindable="false|true"

     Events
      fault="No default."
      result="No default."
     />

It then can have a single <mx:arguments> child tag which is an array of objects that is passed in order.

| Property | Defined By
--- | --- | ---
|  | channelSet : ChannelSet Provides access to the ChannelSet used by the service. | AbstractService
|  | concurrency : String Value that indicates how to handle multiple calls to the same service. | RemoteObject
|  | convertParametersHandler : Function An optional function, primarily intended for framework developers who need to install a function to get called with the parameters passed to each remote object invocation. | RemoteObject
|  | convertResultHandler : Function An optional function, primarily intended for framework developers who need to install a hook to process the results of an operation before notifying the result handlers. | RemoteObject
|  | destination : String The destination of the service. | AbstractService
|  | endpoint : String This property allows the developer to quickly specify an endpoint for a RemoteObject destination without referring to a services configuration file at compile time or programmatically creating a ChannelSet. | RemoteObject
|  | makeObjectsBindable : Boolean When this value is true, anonymous objects returned are forced to bindable objects. | RemoteObject
|  | managers : Array The managers property stores a list of data managers which modify the behavior of this service. | AbstractService
|  | operations : Object The Operations array is usually only set by the MXML compiler if you create a service using an MXML tag. | AbstractService
|  | requestTimeout : int Provides access to the request timeout in seconds for sent messages. | AbstractService
|  | showBusyCursor : Boolean If true, a busy cursor is displayed while a service is executing. | RemoteObject
|  | source : String Lets you specify a source value on the client; not supported for destinations that use the JavaAdapter. | RemoteObject

|  | RemoteObject(destination:String = null) Create a new RemoteObject. | RemoteObject
|  | disconnect():void Disconnects the service's network connection and removes any pending request responders. | AbstractService
|  | getOperation(name:String):AbstractOperation [override] Returns an Operation of the given name. | RemoteObject
|  | initialize():void Called to initialize the service. | AbstractService
|  | initialized(document:Object, id:String):void Called automatically by the MXML compiler if the RemoteObject is set up using a tag. | RemoteObject
|  | logout():void Logs the user out of the destination. | AbstractService
|  | setCredentials(username:String, password:String, charset:String = null):void Sets the credentials for the destination accessed by the service when using Data Services on the server side. | AbstractService
|  | setRemoteCredentials(remoteUsername:String, remotePassword:String, charset:String = null):void [override] If a remote object is managed by an external service, such a ColdFusion Component (CFC), a username and password can be set for the authentication mechanism of that remote service. | RemoteObject
|  | toString():String Represents an instance of RemoteObject as a String, describing important properties such as the destination id and the set of channels assigned. | RemoteObject

| Event | Summary | Defined By
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | fault | The fault event is dispatched when a service call fails and isn't handled by the Operation itself. | AbstractService
|  | invoke | The invoke event is dispatched when a service Operation is invoked so long as an Error is not thrown before the Channel attempts to send the message. | AbstractService
|  | result | The result event is dispatched when a service call successfully returns and isn't handled by the Operation itself. | AbstractService

Constructor Detail

### RemoteObject

()
Constructor

`public function RemoteObject(destination:String = null)`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Create a new RemoteObject.

Parameters

| `destination:String` (default = `null`)`` — The destination of the RemoteObject, should match a destination name in the services-config.xml file.

Method Detail

### getOperation

()
method

`override public function getOperation(name:String):AbstractOperation`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns an Operation of the given name. If the Operation wasn't created beforehand, a new `mx.rpc.remoting.mxml.Operation` is created during this call. Operations are usually accessible by simply naming them after the service variable (`myService.someOperation`), but if your Operation name happens to match a defined method on the service (like `setCredentials`), you can use this method to get the Operation instead.

Parameters

| `name:String` — Name of the Operation.

Returns

| `AbstractOperation` — Operation that executes for this name.

### initialized

()
method

`public function initialized(document:Object, id:String):void`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version: | Flex 3

Runtime Versions: | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Called automatically by the MXML compiler if the RemoteObject is set up using a tag. If you create the RemoteObject through ActionScript you may want to call this method yourself as it is useful for validating any arguments.

Parameters

| `document:Object` — the MXML document on which this RemoteObject lives
| `id:String` — the id of this RemoteObject within the document
