Where is my as2 remoting in Flash 9?

Just great! I installed Flash 9 and was happy I could finally throw out the old Flash 8 version only to find out that I couldn’t  compile my old as2 remoting projects in Flash 9. At Adobe they were smart enough to include remoting in as3 but they totally forgot to add it for as2 as well. Checking the (Flash 9) help led me to the site where I can only download the Flash 8 remoting installer which can’t be installed for Flash 9…

Very smart Adobe!

Fortunately I thought of an easy way to get this problem solved; simply copy the remoting classes from Flash 8 to some other directory and set this directory as one of your default Flash 9 – as2 – classpaths. (Copying it into the default classpath with all other default classes didn’t work for me somehow.)

To make it easy for you I extracted the remoting classes and put them in a zip: as2RemotingPackage.zip

PS: I coudn’t find any info about this on the internet so either nobody ever needed it, nobody ever bothered to try and find a solution or this solution is so simple nobody ever bothered to write about it.
Anyway I bother to write about it for those of you who couldn’t find a solution or just didn’t bother to find one.

Hope this will help you…
