Macromedia Flash Remoting Update
Macromedia has quietly released what they are calling the Flash Remoting MX for Java Hot Fix. While this update does not appear to be mentioned from the Flash Remoting product page it is a fairly significant update that provides a number of configuration options for customizing and extending the behavior of the Flash Remoting gateway. This release appears to be the same version of Flash Remoting that is distributed with Macromedia Flex. It bundles the Carbon Five ASTranslator library for JavaBean-style serialization and allows the use of custom adapters like our SpringBeanAdapter for using Flash Remoting with the Spring Framework.Posted by Alon Salant at October 28, 2005 11:21 AM

As I understood, the Flex 1.5 is shipped with "flashgateway.war" file that include Flash Remoting version "1.1.87175".
Is this hot fix for Flash Remoting ( version 1.0?) meant to be used with Flash MX 2004 (Flash 8) along?

Flex 1.5 includes a flashgateway.jar file that provides Flash Remoting support. That version of Flash Remoting is different from Flash Remoting v1.0. For example, it allows for external configuration via gateway-config.xml which was absent in the original version of Flash Remoting.
As far as I can tell, this 'Hot Fix' is basically the same version that is distributed with Flex 1.5 with some minor changes and bug fixes.
