Runtime Versions: Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The MessageResponder class handles a successful result or fault from a message destination. For each message that a Channel sends, the Channel creates a MessageResponder to handle the result. Upon a response, the Channel will invoke either the result() or status() callback on the MessageResponder. MessageResponder subclasses should override these methods to perform any necessary processing. For every response, whether a successful result or an error, the MessageResponder should invoke acknowledge() on its agent. If the response was a fault, the MessageResponder should also invoke fault() on its agent.
