RE: Flash for data views : WAS Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR

If all you are doing is presenting data to the user with no interaction, then there is not much advantage to using Flash. However, if the users interacts with that data in any way, then there are advantages. Namely, the fact that the entire page will not need to be refreshed to update

Hi, Mike. Your work sounds exactly like what I'm trying to make happen. Any resources you would point me to, to get an Intermediate CF coder familiar enough with Flash Remoting, especially ActionScript, to create some one-page apps? Rick -Original Message- From: Mike Chambers

i agree. I was thinking more of static views of data. If you need to sort and filter that data, then there are advantages to using flash. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 10:41 AM

Rick, well, we have ton of examples (on DesDev and the DRK) but I believe that you said you do not like to learn via examples. We also have a lot of tutorials on examples on desdev: http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mx/flash/ http://www.macromedia.com/desdev/mx/coldfusion/ here is what i would

RE: Flash for data views : WAS Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR

Thanks, Mike. I'll check out more of the DesDev and the DRK stuff... The Flash interface doesn't bother me, I do timeline based video editing all the time, so I'm confortable with the timeline. The graphic design is very simple, too. It's the ActionScript that I can't deal with unless I start

-Original Message- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] One of the things that's confusing about how Flash handles data is how it receives it. Does it receive it as a set of variables or does each Result represent a separate variable from CF? I haven't figured out

RE: Flash for data views : WAS Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR

Thanks, Mike. I can tell I've got a lot to learn... Would you be interested in writing an example of code here that shows how a piece of data, say a name is queried from CF, sent to Flash, the code that Flash uses to receive it and translates it into an ActionScript datatype? Just so I can see
