You need to remember that flash with as2 is a VERY VERY powerful tool and it will take in any kind of data you can send to it, now if it was just made to only work with cfm it might be different but it's not. Actually when you start up flash you can choose to make a new remoting page which has most everything you need already added to the as code you just need to fill in your info. Also remoting isn't the only way to get data into flash, it's just the frickin best! Flash will take about anything you can come up with, as far as cfm is concerned it will take or push back to a plain cfc, a wsdl, xml, cfm page, query string, url string, hell cfm even has built in flash variables just for connecting to flash w/o remoting. If you really want to get into it, run out to barnes and noble and grab http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735713820/sr=8-1/qid=1140813797/ref=pd_bbs _1/104-2614183-0514320?%5Fencoding=UTF8 really good book for coders on using flash. Seems daunting now but once you learn how much power flash has(especially with coldfusion) you'll feel like you are heading out to the lake for a boat ride with a bag full of x, a camcorder and a drunk pam anderson...... ~Dave the disruptor~ ---------------------------------------- From: "Andy Matthews" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 2:49 PM To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Getting data into Flash 8 Thanks Dave. I'll check that out. But yeah, I feel that they do make it complicated...too many steps to do such a simple thing. How would you feel if you had to go through 6 or 7 steps just to get some data back from a datasource using ColdFusion. You'd probably feel like you were coding in PHP eh? -----Original Message----- From: dave [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 24, 2006 1:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Getting data into Flash 8 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=Exc hange%20Search%20Details&loc=en_us&authorid=60639501&page=0&scrollPos=0&subc atid=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~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:233430 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
