A few weeks back I gave a presentation at the Central Pennsylvania Flash User Group (CPFUG) on the ActionScript Message Format, or AMF. Below is a screen capture of the presentation along with audio. You can also download a higher quality 800×600 version here.

Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher is required.

Good job Winton! I didn’t know about that Authenticate.php class in AMFPHP. I was actually doing all my authentication using a custom class, which took more time to implement. This will certainly come in handy for future projects.

As far as the debugger is concerned, you may want to take a look at Alcon, which is a pretty nice open source debugger: http://preview.tinyurl.com/afpkgc (although I’m not sure if you can do AMF object introspection with it).

(Just as a heads up, I got no audio on the downloadable version.)

Thanks Bernardo! Glad to hear that you found the presentation useful. I’d like to check out the AIcon debugger, but it seems the site is down. Have a working url?

I’ll check into the audio issue.

Nice! Have you tried RED|bug by RealEyes Media (http://www.realeyesmedia.com/redbug/)? If so, how does Alcon stack up to RED|bug? I’ve had good experiences using RED|bug for performance testing among other things.
