LoadRunner provides two Protocols: Flex and AMF.
AMF:
A Macromedia proprietry protocol that allows flash remoting binary data to be exchanged between a flash application and an application server over HTTP.
A typical client application that submits AMF messages to a server is the flash player that plays flash clips on personal computers. the Flash Player sends native flash objects to an application server via a gateway. the gateway, known as the flash remoting gateway, is a server-side object, installed on either a Java (including ColdFusion) or. NET Server. the gateway acts as a broker that handles requests between the flash player and the server. it translates flash objects into Native objects for the server and passes them on to the appropriate server-side services.
After the results are returned, the gateway serializes them back into Native flash objects and sends them to the Flash client via AMF.
Vugen:
Vugen's Flex Protocol lets you create scripts that emulate flex Applications Working With amf3 or HTTP data. For flex Applications Working with soap data, use the Web Services vuser protocol.
