openAMF : Flex and Java Example

Here is a HelloWorld example by using openAMF connectivity with java.

I just tried invoke a method in the java class using flex. Unfortunately I had only one way to invoke my java class from Flex that is a traditional method of flash using NetConnection. I strongly belive that there is some other way. if anyone knows please suggest.

here is the files

java : here

[4.37 MB because it contains all lib files required for openAMF]

Flex : Copy functionality in DataGrid

The following example shows the customize data grid by applying a copy and paste functionality.

The idea is very simple but i think its useful, the data copied in clipboard can directly paste in excel and it will pasted in proper columns rather than in a single column, I tested this on Excel 2007.
