Well sometimes CF developers have to adapt. They're out their learning CFCs and other new CFMX functionality right now. I trust that if they need too, they'll be smart enough to learn some Flash too.
I disagree about your last point. If your whole site is in Flash it loads once. The Flash movie is equal to one or two rich HTML pages in size. Perform more than two functions on your site and you're then passing less data than you would via HTML. That's the simplified version of how it works. I doubt Talkers really cares more about it than that, unless they're actually building an app. Then it's worth it to go into the specifics. t P.S. your site is down ********************************************************************** Tyler M.

While I am sure you or others can think of other examples like that one -- I certainly can -- the example is just using a Flash piece embedded in an html page. MM has proposed doing away with html entirely for a Flash front-end. In those cases I don't see the bandwidth reduction at all. -Matt ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
