AMFPHP Server Updated!

Hi Scott,
I must be doing something wrong - but can't figure out what. I keep receiving a path error e.g.:
Error opening URL "http://localhost:8888/?q=sites/all/modules/amfphp"
I've got remoting components placed in the library, and have tried various adjustments to the path e.g. removing php query. etc.
The actionscript is copied from the Services advice, I've checked flash security settings...
Can anyone provide any pointers? Thanks in anticipation, I so want to start using services,

Thanks for the reply, ccharlton.
I finally turned on Clean Url's - no easy matter in Tiger OS X - but still no joy with amfphp. I'm on localhost, and have tried paths ending /modules/amfphp and /services/amfphp... I've included a security.allowDomain in my Actionscript file too - but that didn't help.

When I run test the file:
// Picking up a Drupal node with flash remoting
// Drupal must be set up with Services module enabled
import mx.remoting.Service;
import mx.remoting.PendingCall;
import mx.rpc.RelayResponder;
import mx.rpc.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.ResultEvent;
import mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug;

System.security.allowDomain("http://localhost:8888")

// expose debugging info to clientside "NetConnection debugger" utility
mx.remoting.debug.NetDebug.initialize();

// create, position, and set params on three dynamic text fields: status, node-title, and node-body
var tf:TextField = this.createTextField("status", 10, 0, 0, 200, 200);
var ntitle:TextField = this.createTextField("nodetitle", 11, 0, 50, 200, 200);
var nbody:TextField = this.createTextField("nodebody", 12, 0, 100, 200, 400);
ntitle.html = true;
ntitle.multiline = true;
nbody.html = true;
nbody.multiline = true;
nbody.wordWrap = true;

// establish connection with remote service gateway in Drupal and specify service
// - /services/amfphp is AMFPHP in Services gateway
// - node is one of the two default, exposed services in Services module. The other is view.
var node:Service = new Service("http://localhost:8888/sites/all/modules/services/amfphp", new Log(), "node", null, null);
// call service method
// - load is one of three methods on the default node service
// - pass in which node to load (hard coded "1" here for node 1)
// - optional additonal param to node.load is what fields to return (like in a view?).
// -- array of field names: node.load(1, ['title', 'body']);
// -- default is to send the entire node. This example does that.
var pc:PendingCall = node.load(1);
// set up response handler functions
pc.responder = new RelayResponder(this, "getData_Result", "getData_Fault");

// set default status text
tf.text = "no response from server yet.";

// success result handler
function getData_Result( re:ResultEvent ):Void {
// re is the object containing the response
// two properties you can count on being populated for any node are re.result.title and re.result.body
tf.text = "response:";
ntitle.htmlText = "Node Title:
" + re.result.title;
nbody.htmlText = "Node Body:
" + re.result.body;
}

// failure result handler
function getData_Fault( fe:FaultEvent ):Void {
tf.text = "error";
}

• which is essentially copied from drupal, I get the message 'no response from server yet.' When I test amfphp in Drupal I get the screen saying everything is working... but I can't connect from Flash. I always get a path error. Where am I going wrong?

Thanks for the reply. I have used that path - which tells me, in Drupal, that amfphp is working correctly - but I still get a path error from the Flash 8 end.
Error opening URL "http://localhost:8888/services/amfphp"

Err... no... Thanks for the pointer, ccharlton.
(Since I last posted I have managed to lose the path error - now I simply get "no response from server yet".)
The Drupal service browser says 'page not found'. So I have tried altering the path in the service-config.xml file, which was still pointing to gateway.php, to services/amfphp. It hasn't changed anything. I don't know if it matters, since perhaps it was overridden anyway. I also changed the path of amfphp/amfphp/browser... I don't get any errors in activity - but the browser doesn't find anything. I'm sure you have highlighted where the problem is - I just don't know how to fix it.

The Services module for Drupal has its own service browser. It's HTML-based but I definitely would recommend getting all the settings right for your Drupal before debugging any Flash. Making sure the two minimum modules are installed and up-to-date, AMFPHP module and Services module. I'm sure you got those because you're trying a bunch of paths. All the little configuration stuff covered in the docs and screencasts are really important.

The Clean URLs option helps clean up and reduce your gateway paths, and Drupal paths for that matter - this is important for the Services and AMFPHP modules. As the screencasts show, when permissions (in Drupal) are set for the Services browser, you should be able to see a list of Servers (AMFPHP and XMLRPC) and Services (node, system, taxonomy, user, ...). If you see that, and clean URLs are on, test the AMFPHP server link. If that gateway registers fine then click the node.load service. You should be taken to a form with nid and fields as the input fields on the form. This is the "Drupal Services Browser." Test node.load and make sure you get back an entry (nid = nodeID). If a formatted result comes back then move onto your [project] services XML then your Flash/Flex.

Hope that helps.

Hi Everybody:

I followed up all the steps written here. But I think I'm missing something since I don't get Flash to get records from drupal. It seems Drupal is not sending the that.
I placed the services-config.xml in browser with the correct uri. Is there something else I should do to get it working.

Thanks
