The flash.net package contains classes for sending and receiving from the network, such as URL downloading and Flash Remoting.



Functions
 FunctionDescription
 getClassByAlias Looks up a class that previously had an alias registered through a call to the registerClassAlias() method.
 navigateToURL Opens or replaces a window in the application that contains the Flash Player container (usually a browser).
 registerClassAlias Preserves the class (type) of an object when the object is encoded in Action Message Format (AMF).
 sendToURL Sends a URL request to a server, but ignores any response.
Interfaces
 InterfaceDescription
 IDynamicPropertyOutput This interface controls the serialization of dynamic properties of dynamic objects.
 IDynamicPropertyWriter This interface is used with the IDynamicPropertyOutput interface to control the serialization of dynamic properties of dynamic objects.
Classes
 ClassDescription
 FileFilter The FileFilter class is used to indicate what files on the user's system are shown in the file-browsing dialog box that is displayed when FileReference.browse() or FileReferenceList.browse() is called.
 FileReference The FileReference class provides a means to upload and download files between a user's computer and a server.
 FileReferenceList The FileReferenceList class provides a means to let users select one or more files for uploading.
 LocalConnection The LocalConnection class lets you create a LocalConnection object that can invoke a method in another LocalConnection object, either within a single SWF file or between multiple SWF files.
 NetConnection The NetConnection class creates a bidirectional connection between Flash Player and a Flash Media Server application or between Flash Player and an application server running Flash Remoting.
 NetStream The NetStream class opens a one-way streaming connection between Flash Player and Flash Media Server, or between Flash Player and the local file system.
 ObjectEncoding The ObjectEncoding class allows classes that serialize objects (such as NetStream, NetConnection, SharedObject, and ByteArray) to work with prior versions of ActionScript.
 Responder The Responder class provides an object that is used in NetConnection.call() to handle return values from the server related to the success or failure of specific operations.
 SharedObject The SharedObject class is used to read and store limited amounts of data on a user's computer or on a server.
 SharedObjectFlushStatus The SharedObjectFlushStatus class provides values for the code returned from a call to the SharedObject.flush() method.
 Socket The Socket class enables ActionScript code to make socket connections and to read and write raw binary data.
 URLLoader The URLLoader class downloads data from a URL as text, binary data, or URL-encoded variables.
 URLLoaderDataFormat The URLLoaderDataFormat class provides values that specify how downloaded data is received.
 URLRequest The URLRequest class captures all of the information in a single HTTP request.
 URLRequestHeader A URLRequestHeader object encapsulates a single HTTP request header and consists of a name/value pair.
 URLRequestMethod The URLRequestMethod class provides values that specify whether the URLRequest object should use the POST method or the GET method when sending data to a server.
 URLStream The URLStream class provides low-level access to downloading URLs.
 URLVariables The URLVariables class allows you to transfer variables between a Flash® application and a server.
 XMLSocket The XMLSocket class implements client sockets that let the computer that is running Flash Player communicate with a server computer identified by an IP address or domain name.
