AS3 boolean now supported in Zend Amf
Congratulations to Shaun Smith for pointing out the last serialization bug in the Zend_Amf code base. This morning at ZendCon_08 I was able to find this bug and get it fixed and checked into the incubator.
So there is an As3 data type for As3_Bool_true and AS3_Bool_false. Interesting to have two meta data tags to define the second value that can only be of two types. Of course how could I have missed that!
If you are a flash/Flex developer at ZendCon make sure you come talk to me during the conference. I have already ran into a buddy of mine Robert Taylor that I have not seen for two years. It was great to catch up and I am sure that we will spend some more time together. Join us!
Also I am twittering so follow me. I just started using twitter this weekend for this conference. I have found that it’s purpose is for those that can’t figure out how to get IRC to work.
Interesting that boolean was a problem with Zend_amf. I had the same problem when I shoe horned amfphp into code ignitor framework. Very convenient that a Zend Framework solution is being done because I have since moved on to ZF and I look forward to using a tried and true lib instead of my hacked up solutions
. Thanks
Wade,
I’m really excited to see Zend_amf in action.
I read at Lee Brimelow’s blog Zend_amf will be the only solution fully supported by Adobe. Does that mean we will be able to use for mobile devices too?
Also, will you have time to explain Zend_amf to us, newbies, in detail?
Thanks
All looking sweet and very helpful. Only thing was I downloaded a version out of the incubator and tried to run a sample with some of the code off the wiki. I’ve searched around and had a look to try and find a solution but can’t. I might be missing something obvious or posting this in the wrong place ( if so please let me know and delete me
), but thought I might give this a shot as I’ve hit abit of a dead end…
When I use flex to send data I get the following error in my error.log:
[error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Unable to parse body data exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘RemoteClass Typed object not implmented: flex.messaging.messages.CommandMessage’ in C:\\Apache\\lib\\Zend\\Amf\\Parse\\Amf3\\Deserializer.php:279
Which also may or may not be enough to give me advice of where the problem lies.. As I said this is with the simple code from the wiki project page….
Anyway, Thanks
@jimmer Please update to the latest release in the incubator it resolves this issue and thanks for the feedback!
