Stick with AJAX. The CF8 Ajax controls are much better than the Flash equilivant. Here are the problems we had with the flash ones.
1. Some clients have locked down PC's and can NOT install the flash player 2. The rendering time of flash interfaces is very slow 3. The progress bar loading is very annoying 4. Flash is client side and we found it doing weird stuff depending on the version and PC it was on, like date formatting to the PC local when we wanted to display server dates. We actually developed a whole lot of stuff in Flash forms when it came out, only to get rid of it again, we have now gone to the Ajax stuff.

AJAX (javascript) Hi Guys, I want to build a new CMS in Coldfusion 8. First I thought, I could build the backoffice with Coldfusion 8 Flash Forms. This way I can use cftree, rich text area etc. But every flash form function in CF 8 can be build with AJAX too, like treeview, FCK editor. I have thought of these points: PRO Flash Form 1. Browser independent. (although you need a Flash plugin) 2. Quick developement. (format = flash) PRO AJAX (javascript) 1. Fast ( almost no loading times on tree for ex, Flash Form (CF7) are sluggish) 2. CFM engine indepent, could deploy CMS on for example Railo too. What are your opinions/experiences on the use of CF8 flash forms? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion 8 - Build next generation apps today, with easy PDF and Ajax features - download now http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/coldfusion/cf8_beta_whatsnew_052907.pdf Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:287652 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
