NAME

AMF::Perl - Flash Remoting in Perl Translated from PHP Remoting v. 0.5b from the -PHP project.

Main gateway class. This is always the file you call from flash remoting-enabled server scripts.

SYNOPSIS

This code should be present in your AMF::Perl gateway script, the one called by the Flash client.

To enable the client to call method bar() under service Foo, make sure MyCLass has a method called bar() and register an instance of your class.

        my $object = new MyClass();
        my $gateway = AMF::Perl->new;
        $gateway->registerService("Foo",$object);
        $gateway->service();

Or, if you have many services to register, create a package corresponding to each service and put them into a separate directory. Then register this directory name.

In the example below directory "services" may contain Foo.pm, Bar.pm etc. Therefore, services Foo and Bar are available. However, these packages must have a function called methodTable returning the names and descriptions of all possible methods to invoke. See the documentation and examples for details.

        my $gateway = AMF::Perl->new;
        $gateway->setBaseClassPath('./services');
        $gateway->service();

ABSTRACT

    Macromedia Flash Remoting server-side support.

DESCRIPTION

        This file accepts the  data and deserializes it using the InputStream and Deserializer classes.
    Then the gateway builds the executive class which then loads the targeted class file
    and executes the targeted method via flash remoting.
    After the target uri executes the the gateway determines the data type of the data
    and serializes and returns the data back to the client.
