()Constructor
public function NetConnectionChannel(id:String = null, uri:String = null)

Language Version: ActionScript 3.0
Product Versions: BlazeDS 4, LiveCycle Data Services 3
Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Creates a new NetConnectionChannel instance.

The underlying NetConnection's objectEncoding is set to ObjectEncoding.AMF3 by default. It can be changed manually by accessing the channel's netConnection property. The global NetConnection.defaultObjectEncoding setting is not honored by this channel.

Parameters
id:String (default = null) — The id of this Channel.
 
uri:String (default = null) — The uri for this Channel.
