AS3 on the server
At one time there was talk about AS3 on the server. With node.js you can
use JS on the server. What happened to that project? Is it something can be
donated to Apache?

The Uriana J2EE and J2EE GWT ports are downloadable from
https://www.assembla.com/code/uriana/subversion/nodes/128/trunk the Uriana
repository.
I am currently working to embed GWT remote Objects architecture within the
framework architecture, which I hope that will take no much longer to be
accomplished.
I am also preparing some powerpoint documentation to get ready to work with
Uriana for GWT projects.
Cheers.

Talking on GWT, I've recently ported Uriana to suit with GWT projects and
we're currently testing it at several enterprise projects. The code is at

Re: AS3 on the server
Posted by "Mr. Rich" <mr...@gmail.com>.
Here's a solution. Because Adobe didn't release this for AS3, I built it
into FTML a few years back!
1. RSL support - FMTL will load any swf as an RSL and allow you call any
method or construct any class using your swf file.
2. MXML web compiler - FTML will allow you compile mxml code directly on
the HTML page - and it works as you would expect, similar to Flash Builder
where you only need to define the namespace of the class.
Most of what I just said can be found here:
http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/learn/runtime-libraries/
3. Web based AS3 - FTML has multiple scripting support where you can (1)
write code in javascript and pass data between js and flash, (2) write pure
AS3 code (like Java so flash.display.DisplayOjbect not DisplayObject)
4. All flash code is IN THE BROWSER, NO COMPILING - only refresh and go!
5. PHP and flash - FTML is a markup so you can use it just like HTML with
PHP no extra config required:
http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/learn/php-to-flash/
6. Javascript and flash - fastest integration possible:
http://reshapemedia.com/ftml/learn/javascript-to-flash/
Remember FTML is free - so try it with your swf and see for your self.
Support is there for 4.6, 4.11 support will come in 2013.

RE: AS3 on the server
Posted by David Coleman <da...@hotmail.com>.
For what it's worth, I've often shared the opinion that AS3 would be an ideal server language. Strongly structured, native events which in my opinion is a world better than java. In my mind the language itself is mature, and elegant and the only thing missing is a strong set of database access libs to work as a web service.
as far as how you would implement it as a platform, I always pictured that the ideal situation would be a worker based solution, using workers for db access and a mxml approach for html files, similar to how php can script a page, with the mxml components implemented similar to how CakePHP implements an "element". we can use a flag like <?mx ..... ?>
ie:
index.mhtm:
<html>
<?mx
this.addHere(
HeadElementFactory.getHeadFor(this)
);
?>
...
</html>
sure this is a fast ugly incomplete example, but what i have defined more clear in my head is how we would do the server
inside an mhtm file we can directly call a server component like:
(Server.getService(FacebookService) as IFacebookService).getFriends(onFriendsResult);
we would then be able to pass the data to an mhtm element and using jQuery-ish selectors inject the data into the dom of the parent page, or better yet invent some kind of "anchor" class that we can use in the result handler to build html directly on the server, inserting content at a given tagged point of the dom. and build out the dom prior to serving the page to the browser.
In terms of mapping a REST (for instance) call,
Server.mapService('{locale}/{controller}/{method}/[named]/{argv}')
again, much, much definition is lacking... but i've given this great thought over the years.
I have long thought that AS3 as a language has a UNIQUE advantage over other server languages. The SWF encapsulation is a tricky technical challenge, and the creation of a stable and robust web service framework would obviously be a big task.
but I just thought that maybe, just maybe, it's worth just throwing this out there for anyone who might have similar ideas to build on!
So anyway, hope you all like my fantasy server idea... maybe i'm full of it... maybe i'm actually on to something. but I've always had this idea kicking around and it seems i'm not the only one!
Best Regards!

Of course, the links on that blog post seem to indicate that it was supposed to have been rolled into Coldfusion.

I'm glad to see there are others out there but from what I remember it was
an Adobe project. I think it was mentioned at an Adobe Max or 360 Flex
conference. The point was that node js is gaining popularity and it's using
JS. I thought if there was something on on the server in AS3 then maybe
node.js could use that.

Re: AS3 on the server

Hi Chris,
a few month ago, I tried out Nashorn to achieve a fast pure-Java RequireJS
build process. RequireJS' "optimizer" r.js is written in JavaScript and
runs in Node.js and Rhino. Unfortunately, in Rhino, it is about ten times
slower than in Node.js. So when I heard that Nashorn is to be much faster
than Rhino, I had quite high expectations towards Nashorn and tweaked r.js
to be Nashorn-compatible. Sorry to say that the result was quite
disappointing: it was about three times faster than Rhino, but this is
still about three times slower than Node.js / V8 (which is not the latest
and fastest JS engine either). Maybe it was because of the pre-release
version, which as far as I heard still missed many of the performance
optimizations? I should try again with a current version...

In this case you should have a look at the Nashorn Project. It's a JavaScript engine running natively inside the Java VM and hereby on the Server:

All you'd need are some ActionScript "stub" APIs of the corresponding

i don't remember folks complaining about it much. i also don't recall the cf
team ever saying why they dumped it.
i'm always in favor of it, if for nothing else but to stop me from ripping out
any more of my hair over where arrays start cf vs AS3 ;-)

Oh, man.
They introduced the FRG (Flash Remoting Gateway) in I think CF MX 6.1. It
worked within ACF 7, but only when you had FDS/BlazeDS installed... and
then it was only AS2, and supported only like 3 CF tags. It broke in CF8
(the connectors were never updated to work properly), and didn't even ship
with CF9 (you could download CF7 or CF8 and move the JARs around yourself
and rebuild the connectors from scratch). It's the same runtime that was
included in FCS/AMS (but ran through the enterprise router, so it was
limited to 1 thread per license). I'm surprised they kept it in the docs.
The AS3 support they included pretty much exposed all the CFSCRIPT
components as AS3 objects. It was a new runtime that was on track to make
CF fully support more than one language... Or at least that was how it was
introduced...

not sure that's the same thing. if i recall that's been in cf for quite a while
but i don't ever recall using it.
i think the closest thing were the "flash forms" that got built on-the-fly using
a flex 1.0 (??) compiler server side & were key word restricted to protect the
full flex product.
some of us went a little overboard with it anyway ;-)

Hmm. It is documented [1]

That makes me think it shipped, but I haven't tried it.

Adobe did have a few alphas of ColdFusion 9 that existed with an AS3
compiler. It was pretty much a bastardization of Flex Data Services / Flex
compiler that had some mappings to server side components to do server
things... Essentially, you stuck some as3 files on the server and they ran
like a CFM/CFC. I thought it was a wicked feature, but it got ripped out
pretty quick because most of the people on the betas were complaining about
causing a split in the community and not knowing AS3....
I don't think it is something they are in a position to donate... it was
pretty raw back then and I'm sure it is no better since its development was
stopped.
