Property Detail

operation

property
public var operation:String

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

Provides access to the name of the remote method/operation that should be called.

property 
public var source:String

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

This property is provided for backwards compatibility. The best practice, however, is to not expose the underlying source of a RemoteObject destination on the client and only one source to a destination. Some types of Remoting Services may even ignore this property for security reasons.
