AS2 Remoting with CS4

[Benjamin Solum]

So I'm fairly new to AS3 and Remoting in general and didn't realize at the time that AS2 didn't support the NetConnection class so in order to speed up development I developed a Flash application in CS4 using AS2 to get the project out the door.  I setup my php class with AMFPHP, tested out remoting in an AS3 environment, got it all working and then to my horror found out that AS2 required special components. 

I found a way to get the components working with CS3 and I imagine it would work the same for CS4, however, the method required using a previous Flash 8 install which I do not have nor do I have access too.  What would be your suggested method of dealing with this issue?  Rewriting the Flash Actionscript to AS3 could take quite awhile. Would their be a faster way?

P.S. The tutorial I referenced in my post is here: http://blog.vixiom.com/2007/04/17/actionscript-20-flash-remoting-with-flash-cs3/

we have tutorials for both AS3 and AS2 using remoting.
Just have a look into our loading and saving tutorials, which deal with remoting as well, or get deeper with the remoting tutorials either here, or at the AMFPHP-Site.

Oops.  I assumed you had to use the Installer file Adobe provides you on their web page.  Whenever I used their installer it failed and told me the InstallScript engine was missing from my machine.  I assumed this was because I tried installing the Flash 8 components. I didn't notice the .zip file or realize that you didn't need to use adobe's installer... my bad.

I hava a similar problem as discussed above, but I don't know what to do right now .... 

I've developed a site in flash mx using amfphp and flash remoting components (AS 2.0)

In the past I've placed the flash remoting components on the stage, but when i open the fla that was made in flash mx in CS4, the components are removed from the stage. When I try to publish, the Service class, FaultEvent en ResponseEvent cannot be found, even if i include the correct namespaces at the top op the scriptpage.

What do I need to do? Urgent ...

Thanks!

As stated in the thread, download the zip file from Adobe and uncompress in the class tree of your Flash installation
