MM didn't make it complex, you are making it complex, it ain't rocket science.
They pretty much do have drag and drop components already built in, you can have remoting working in under 30 seconds or there is the data connector that's built in that can get data from a cfc or web service, again in under 30 seconds. http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm#view=sn106&viewName=Exchange%20Search%20Details&loc=en_us&authorid=60639501&page=0&scrollPos=0&subcatid=0&snid=sn106&itemnumber=13&extid=1011923&catid=0 I suggest that you check out all the remoting tutorials at communitymx.com or specifically this one http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=ADF3B or asfusion.com has quite a bit of info as well. ~Dave the disruptor~ ---------------------------------------- From: "Andy Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 10:27 AM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Getting data into Flash 8 Honestly? I don't understand any of that. There's not a bit of that Actionscript that I recognize. How is any of this code triggered? Does this have to be run via a web browser or can it be run from within the IDE? Can I return a query object to Flash or does it have to be a structure? I'm sorry to be so dense but WHY does MM have to make this so complex? Something as simple as connecting to a database should, at this point, be a drag and drop thing. Anyway, I greatly appreciate your input to this point, but I'll just have to come up with another method, passing in the values via the query string, because I know that works. -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Aebig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 23, 2006 4:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Getting data into Flash 8 It's using certain development idea's that complicate things for beginners like using Delegates to handle listeners.
