Indeed, this is what we're complaining about, there isn't any well-established framework to build applications in FlashMX till now. I am not sure that there is any well-established methodologies either (MVC/MVP are only design patterns), especially with Remoting involved. > You might find this book useful: > http://www.wheelmaker.org/ > http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735711836/ref=ase_wheelmaker-20/104- 8992403-7141547 Yep, this is an excellent book, one of the best in this area, highly recommended. Don't get me wrong, I love Flash. I was only responding to the fact that many CF Developers encouter problems when they try to build RIAs. They don't know from where to start, even if they have understood Flash Remoting, Flash Components and OOP ActionScript principles. Except Petmarket, there is no clear guidelines/blueprints/best practices on how to architect the client side of a "real" RIA (and not a simple Flash Widget). It has always been the strength and weakness of Flash : the freedom it offers you...
