When using Tide in an AIR application it's sometimes necessary to modify the server address once a connection is already made (Or when a faulty connection is made). The server settings can be set using the ServiceInitializer:

Ejb.getInstance().addComponentWithFactory("serviceInitializer", DefaultServiceInitializer, {
  contextRoot: '/my-app',
  serverName: 'my-server',
  serverPort: 8080
});

However. When a connection is already established by the RemoteObject, modifying the serverInitializer doesn't effect the connection, because the RemoteObject should be disconnected first.

A workaround is to add an extra method to Tide to reset the RemoteObject:

public function resetConnection():void {
  if (_ro) {
    _ro.disconnect();
  }
  _ro = null;
}
