You can use the MSMQ adapter to subscribe to MSMQ queues configured on a Windows system. The MSMQ adapter lets MSMQ publishers and subscribers connect to the same destination as a Flex client application. .NET code can publish messages to the Flex application, and .NET code can receive messages that the Flex application publishes.

Please note that no server-side code is needed in order to handle Flex/MSMQ communication.

You connect to a message service destination using Producer and Consumer components and the corresponding ActionScript API.

Sample:

<service id="message-service" class="flex.messaging.services.MessageService" messageTypes="flex.messaging.messages.AsyncMessage">
<adapters>
    <adapter id="msmqAdapter" class="FluorineFx.Messaging.Services.Messaging.MsmqAdapter" default="true"/>
</adapters>

<destination id="orderProcessor">
    <channels>
        <channel ref="my-rtmp"/>
    </channels>
    <properties>
        <msmq>
            <name>.\private$\orderqueuein</name>
            <formatter>BinaryMessageFormatter</formatter>
        </msmq>
        <server>
            <allow-subtopics>true</allow-subtopics>
        </server>
    <properties>
</destination>
</service>
...
<channels>
    <channel-definition id="my-rtmp" class="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel">
        <endpoint uri="rtmp://{server.name}:1951" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.RTMPEndpoint"/>
    </channel-definition>
</channels>
