[haXe] haXe Remoting

[Lee McColl-Sylvester]

I had a feeling that was the route you were going to take.  I plan to
use this extensively as I use XML transfers extensively in AS2.  I will
probably build a framework for handling this which I'll post to the
community should it prove useful.  It's often common to require a client
side and server side serializer/deserializer for XML.

On another topic, I've heard nothing back from Boris with regard to
hxdt, so I'm going to go ahead with it anyway... I'll need a week or so
to collect myself and I'm hoping to get some good community help with
the project.

Regards,
Lee

There is several kind of communications possible :

Flash -> Server : through HTTP/LoadVars or XMLSocket , always
asynchronous

Flash -> JS : through FSCommand (async) or Flash8 ExternalInterface
(sync)

JS -> Flash : loading a SWF that uses a LocalConnection (async) or using
Flash8 ExternalInterface (sync ?)

JS -> Server : using XMLHttpRequest (sync OR async)

The server itself can't establish connections on the client, so both
Server -> Flash and Server -> JS are simply results of a
client-established operation. Pushing Server data onto the client can
only be done in Server -> Flash using XMLSocket. This not the thing I'm
concentrating on right now.
