Is it possible to define multiple RemoteObjects in MXML?
For instance:
//amf_tests.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute"
creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;
[Bindable] private var serviceTypes:Object; // the remote object service names and instances
[Bindable] private var ro:RemoteObject; // the selected service
private function init() {
serviceTypes = { amfphp: amfphp_ro, zendamf: zendamf_ro, sabreamf: sabreamf_ro };
}
private function sendRemoteServiceRequest():void {
ro = serviceTypes[serviceType.text];
ro.sayHi();
ro.sayBye();
}
private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
Alert.show(event.result.toString());
}
private function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void {
Alert.show(event.fault.faultString);
}
private function getKeys(obj:Object):ArrayCollection {
var keys:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for (var key:String in obj) {
keys.addItem(key);
}
// there's got to be a better way to sort than this
keys = new ArrayCollection(keys.toArray().sort(Array.CASEINSENSITIVE));
return keys;
}

Maybe there’s a typo, but amfphp works, and all the others claim there’s no channel associated with the destination:
[MessagingError message=’Destination ‘sabreamf’ either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the application does not define any default channels.)’]
My workaround is to declare the other RemoteObjects in the init() function and not try to use the <mx:RemoteObjects> and the services-config.xml. Definitely less elegant:
private function init():void
{
zendamf_ro.source = "HelloWorld";
zendamf_ro.destination = "zendamf";
zendamf_ro.endpoint = "http://localhost/zend_amf/index.php";
sabreamf_ro.source = "HelloWorld";
sabreamf_ro.destination = "sabreamf";
sabreamf_ro.endpoint = "http://localhost/SabreAMF/index.php";
serviceTypes = {amfphp: amfphp_ro, zendamf: zendamf_ro, sabreamf: sabreamf_ro};
}
