Action Message Format

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Action Message Format or 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.
