Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...
Michael Smith: I am speaking with Tom Muck about his talk on "Flash Remoting" at
CFUN-04. Why should programmers learn about remoting Tom?
Tom Muck: In this era of Rich Internet Applications, there are many different
ways that a programmer can create an RIA app -- Flash Remoting, web services,
XML, LoadVars, etc. Flash Remoting is the best way for a ColdFusion server to
communicate with a Flash movie because it is a binary format with a small packet
size. This translates to great savings in bandwidth and creates a better user
experience because the time lag between the call to the server and the response
from the server will be shorter.
MS: How much shorter?

Flash Remoting by Tom Muck
Remoting is an efficient and rapid method of connecting Rich Flash applications
to powerful back-end systems. This session will help you get a solid grasp of
what Flash Remoting is, how ColdFusion and Flash integrate, and what you should
know as a ColdFusion developer. The session will also cover practical tips on
what works and what does not, how you can make projects run more smoothly, and
what advanced techniques exist for building a more structured communication
model with Remoting. Previous experience in Flash is not required although
beneficial.
Tom Muck is the author of Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide from O'Reilly and
