Catching server timeout errors when using Flash Remoting

Monday, April 29, 2002

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.</UL></p>
