Using amfphp with Flash CS3 and AS2

All,

I am starting to experiment with amfphp. I've done some great tutorials (especially Lee Brimlow at gotoandlearn.com).

As long as you are using AS3 it works great as AS3 includes a built-in NetConnection class.

However, I'm looking to use amfphp in a bundle of existing AS2 projects.

The problem is that AS2 doesn't seem to have a NetConnection class, but Adobe's Remote Access components only work for Flash 8, not CS3.

A google search came up with a lot of suggestions that I copy files from my Flash 8 installation to CS3, but I don't have Flash 8.

I am stuck? Is there a way to get around this?

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice or guidance.

You can find as2 removal components for flash 8 for MAC and PC on Adobe website. It cannot be installed in the correct folder for Flash CS3, but there are mx.remoting classes that go in the same folder with other as2 mx packages of the NetConnection debugger that comes in the WindowSWF folder, and the swc themselves that go in the shared libraries ...

I have classes in the office, not at home where I am now, so I'm not 100% accurate.



I remember there were some handy video tutorials on the topic on as2 on the amfphp website.

I don't program as2 myself, but this post http://drupal.org/node/258605#comment-852450 looks like it has loading for the classes you need.



You can also try to combine as2 and as3 by downloading a separate as3 swf and linking via LocalConnection http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1964550#post1964550 , but I would assume that removes almost all the benefits of amfphp ...
