AMF(是Action Message Format的缩写)是在flash和flex中remoting的一种方式格式。
AMF is a binary format based loosely on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). It is used primarily to exchange data between an Adobe Flash application and a database, using a Remote Procedure Call.
Each AMF message contains a body which holds the error or response, which will be expressed as an ActionScript Object.
AMF was introduced with Flash Player 6, and this version is referred to as AMF 0. It was unchanged until the release of Flash Player 9 and ActionScript 3.0, when new data types and language features prompted an update, called AMF 3.[1]
Adobe Systems published the AMF binary data protocol specification[2] on December 13, 2007 and announced that it will support the developer community to make this protocol available for every major server platform.
AMF协议是基于Http协议的.
它的内容处理过程大致是这样:
1.从客户端获取Http请求(Request)流.
2.对流进行解串行化(Deserialize)，得到服务器端程序能够识别的数据，并建立一个响应(Response)消息
3.Debug开始
4. 对流进行各种处理(记录、许可、服务)得到返回值
5.对响应流进行串行化
6.发送Http响应给客户端
