Catching server timeout errors when using Flash Remoting
When calling remote services / methods via Flash Remoting, any errors that occur will trigger the onStatus method to be called:
onStatus = function(error)
{
trace(“Error : ” + error.description);
}
However, if Flash cannot connect to the server (network or server is down) onStatus will not be called. Using XML and LoadVars you have to manually keep a timer in order to time out the connection, however you do not have to do this using Flash Remoting. Just create a method like the following:
_global.System.onStatus = function(info)
{
trace(“details : ” + info.details);
trace(“description : ” + info.description);
trace(“code : ” + info.code);
trace(“level : ” + info.level);
}
This method will be called if Flash MX cannot connect to the Flash Remoting server.
Here is an example output (when the server is not running):
details: http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway/
description: HTTP: Failed
code: NetConnection.Call.Failed
level: error
Couple of notes :
- The exact messages may depend on the browser.
- This will only works when connecting to the server via Flash Remoting. It will not work when using the XML or LoadVars object.
Hi when I try to connect to the webservice with “http://localhost/dotnet/dotnet.asmx?wsdl“ , I get an error no such service found.

r u sure that service has been deployed at that url.
u can check by accessing the same URL from the browser, if the service is deployed u will see the service page

Yo !
If flash mx tells you that there is no service at url requested, there is no service at that url…..so problem lies i your server setup or service itself…
I know that this is not much help, but a good fact…

I’ve tried using this method with my custom classes that involve remoting…
I embedded _global.System.onStatus, and it works when i test publish in Flash, but when I open it in the browser, the onStatus seems to be only caught if i export as flash 7, and open it in IE, it did not work with the following:
Fire Fox(MAC, PC), Safari, IE(When exported as flash 6), has anyone else hit this problem?
thanks

well…I’ve decided to use a timeout of around seven seconds. I just couldn’t seem to get System.onStatus to work with anything but IE

This does appear to work in IE but doesn’t work in firefox, any chance its a flash plugin issue when used in firefox ?

hi,
i have build a flash module, which is consuming .NET web service, while calling one of its web method its throwing an error “Unable to connect to endpoint: http://SampleWebservice/Sample1.asmx” (Other web methods are returning expected results), i tried to execute the same web method from browser it works perfectly. After some investigation i found out the cause of error. From the browser web method takes 40 odd seconds to execute and flash module just wait for 15-20 sec to get the result from the web method. now the question arises, how to set the Timeout property for the web service object in flash.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Imtiyaz
