Object.registerClass / application.registerClass Gotcha's Greg Burch has made a post on some things to watch out for when using Object.registerClass to set the type of an object to a custom class. The same thing applies on the Flash Communication Server when using application.registerClass. The constructor for your class must be in this form: function MyClass(){}; Doing this on the client and server allows you to send custom classes between the client and server and have them automatically serialized and deserialized. This is a very cool feature. 11:39:01 AM    comment []  Google It!

Flash Remoting for Java Beta 3 Beta 3 of Flash Remoting for Java is now available. Aside from updated documentation, we have also changed the installation procedure allowing you to install Flash Remoting on any Java application server, such as IBM WebSphere, Tomcat, BEA Weblogic, Resin, and others.  We have removed any server-specific requirements in an effort to provide the broadest possible Java server support. What does that mean? Well, among other things, you can now use Flash Remoting on OSX using Apache and Tomcat. You can get ColdFusion MX running on OSX, but it is not currently the easiest process in the world. You can sign up for the beta here. 10:19:51 AM    comment []  Google It!
