"It's encouraging to know. Thanks. Now, from MM web site, it seems to me Flash Communication server is a big package (Flash) while Flash Remoting (FR) seem more like a compact version centered on data, correct? Also, would FR allow developer to save his/her work into JPG type of format when appropriate or Flash format only. I know I should read more on this topic from MM or other source than asking, but I'm lazy. Again thanks."
The particular product that you will require is Flash Remoting. Flash Communication Server is another beast. Flash Remoting allows for you to integrate CFML data and Flash together. Although not required it saves for allot of headaches and is much easier and robust to use than other options available to you which include plain TXT and XML files. I'm confused where a JPG image fits into the application you previously posted about. You can not as far as I know output a JPG file from Flash. You can import JPG images, but outputting a JPG file is not a capability of Flash. I'm assuming your thinking of something like CFCHART where it will allow you to output as a Flash File, JPG file, etc. This is possible by having Director's code base integrated within CFMX. However this would not be something that is useful for the application that you described. What you will have to do, is most likely hire a contract Flash Developer to help you with your application. If you want to go the Flash Route. Yes it is possible for you to do it yourself and I encourage you to look into the Flash Remoting technology, depending on the timeframe of development and your resources that you have it may not be best for you to learn and build at the same time. It most likely would be more cost effective for you to go with a Contract Flash Developer to help you with this project. I hope this helps. *********************************** Bryan F.
