Looks like you're stuck with AMFPHP then...or you could Google and perhaps find things like SWX or some other remoting solutions.... AMFPHP still works though.....it doesn't really matter if it's moving leaps and bounds or not...it gets the job done. Web hosting is changing anyway,..and you might as well pony up an extra 10, 20 bucks a month for a VPS and install AMFEXT...or check out Joyent, or Amazon EC2...just give it some time, the "average" for web hosting will allow you to install all sorts of things aside from extensions.
Not to mention the fact that there aren't that many crazy flash apps out there that require remoting that don't have the budget for a small VPS (or something larger). If you're playing around, you can set it up on your local machine too. Or..you can also use XML feeds and simply write with AMFPHP...depending on your requirements. You have many options, AMFEXT is only one...and more to Gwoo's point -- it's all open source...you could work with it to make it work the way you need. -Tom On Apr 11, 3:59 am, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From time to time I work on Flash projects and have previously used > CakeAMFPHP.
