NetServices Object

The NetServices object is used to transfer complex or simple ActionScript objects using Flash Remoting MX and the Action Message Format (AMF) over HTTP or HTTPS. NetServices are available for both the Flash Communication Server and the Flash player. The object can be used to call methods on an application server that is supported by Flash Remoting MX and that can return a database RecordSet or call to action other servers, such as a mail server. The server-side and client-side NetService objects are identical. On both platforms, you must manually load the RecordSet Libraries to use them.

On the server, the NetServices class is loaded automatically with the command:

load("NetServices.asc"); 

On the client, the NetServices class is loaded automatically with the command:

#include "NetServices.as"
