I believe Flash script is based on the ECMA ??? spec so it's basically JavaScript. If you know JS it shouldn't be hard to pick up. Check out http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/main.htm for another example of JavaScript remote scripting.

Since request for info can be sent via URL link to an action page where a query is made based upon the URL embedded variables, then returned to the requested page where desired information is displayed... why use Flash Remoting and have to learn a new scripting language? Why not just make "invisible" page jumps to get new info and take it back via CFLOCATION to the requesting page? Looks just like Flash... I guess it wouldn't look "just like" Flash, because there would have to be "Update" links to pass info that way, whereas Flash doesn't need those... Seems like a fairly reasonable way to create a decent "one-page" application user-interface without Flash...DHTML could be used to create various areas of an interface that would display updated information when the info is "invisibly" returned from a query page. Flash is a required plug-in and DHTML is not the same across all browsers... Each has its limitations...Flash also requires a whole new language to be learned... I just hate the thought of having to learn a whole new scripting language... It seems like everytime I get to the point where I can make money with what I know (I'm a self-taught freelancer), something new and better comes along that requires much study and practice to put into use before money can be made... Thoughts anyone? Rick ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
