[osflash] Server side ActionScript

[Ronald Villaver]

Heheh right one there Chris. I'm cool with Red5 too coz its written in java :)  I've been watching its growth since it started, I'm biased to java frameworks coz i'm a java architect, who just happens to love flash too. But HaXe is promising... just not yet too familiar with OCaml to give me the ability to extend it at will. While projects like OpenAMF and Red5 uses the Java language allowing me to extend and implement any customized gates or what not. For example serving the same Business Managers through the AMF gateways, and the very same instances in XMLRPC or SOAP for integration. 

Sorry to promote... :) but if you wanna server dynamic client-side logic generated from the Server side logic, you can look at a small tiny project I authored called JXN, allowing you to manipulate local assets and movies through parsing a script generated by the server, this is not a swf class embedding but an in-client embedded macro script engine extending the JSON language.

Going back, its up to which mother language your are more comfortable with to host your scripting backend. I'm sure you would need more apis, connect to different databases and services or even integrate to legacy systems, you need to be familiar or at least good with the host language to ensure that you can provide all of your clients needs.

Also, Red5 allows you to use Flash remoting and now supports AMF3. It also will allow you to write the server-side code in JavaScript (also supports Java, Python, Ruby, etc...), which is a very similar language to ActionScript. Anyway, I would recommend Red5 over OpenAMF as it's being currently developed and supports many more features. Oh and yes, I'm a bit biased, as I'm co-project manager for Red5

If you want it written in java, actionscript is just ecmascript, so running a rhino engine in your backend manager from your OpenAMF gateway is the same thing. For php and python, you can try combining the AMFPHP or AMFPerl with the Spidermonkey engine also from mozilla.

What are my options if I want to run a set of ActionScript classes 
server side? The classes I want to run contain only logic, nothing  
visual. I want the be able to create several instances (quite a few 
actually), passing data to them and handling the return data.

TIA!
