Using the Flash Remoting service with server-side ActionScript

The ability to create server-side ActionScript provides a familiar way for Flash developers to access
ColdFusion query and HTTP features without learning CFML. You can place ActionScript files
(*.asr) on the server that you want to call from the Flash application anywhere below the web
server's root directory. To specify subdirectories of the webroot or a virtual directory, use package
dot notation. For example, in the following assignment code, the stockquotes.asr file lives in the
mydir/stock/ directory:
stockService = gatewayConnnection.getService("mydir.stock.stockquotes", this);
You can also point to virtual mappings, such as
is a virtual mapping and
cfsuite
and functions give you a well-defined interface for building SQL queries and HTTP
CF.http
operations of ColdFusion.
