Connecting through Flash Remoting

Connecting to external data sources describes the different ways you can use Flash Communication Server to connect clients and servers. The subsection "Connecting to external sources" shows the Flash Communication Server connecting to other services. The client invokes a method on the Flash Communication Server, which in turn invokes a method on additional servers. The results move from the application server to the Flash Communication Server, and finally back to the client.

Using the Flash Communication Server together with the Flash Remoting NetServices library, you'll invoke a Flash Communication Server method from the client, passing some parameters. The Flash Communication Server will then invoke a NetServices method. When the NetServices method passes the result to the Flash Communication Server, the server returns it to the client.
