Flash MX site I'm creating.
I know how to send Flash form data to CF for processing, but I'm lost with
pulling data into Flash
(Like a list of corporate contacts, their email and phone info, grouped by
department)...
I was going to go use LoadVars then someone said use XML files, so I
started learning how to
create compliant XML files with CF MX... then I saw the (to me) completely
INANE code I'd need to
teach myself in order to properly parse the XML file inside Flash...
THEN I was being led by the Flash community that the best way is Flash
Remoting, but I ain't got the
$1,000 for the remoting software... AND I'm doing this site on the same box
as the CF server and the database
(Small site on a shared server)...
Do I need to use remoting software? (Rather than using cluge-y loadvars,
loadvariables or XML parsing)?
DOES CF MX Server come with remoting?
Can anyone please provide me an example of how to implement this if it does?
Fields I need to loop through:
Department
ContactName
ContactTitle
ContactPhone
ContactEmail
These need to be grouped by Department and then get posted onto a dynamic
text movie clip so I can format them and make the email clickable...
Thanks for any help
