Hey Critter. Are you using FlashMX? CFMX? If so definately use the remoting. Over the last two days I've made a chat client and an email client, in *my spare time*.
Others may disagree with this but: The trick to laying out tabular data is the flash function duplicateMovieClip(). Essentially, what you're going to do is create a blank movie clip, with dynamic text fields in it, spaced how you want them, then loop through your recordset and duplicate a movie clip with a dynamic name (based on the index of your loop) and passing in the variables from the recordset as you go. You'll then set the _y value of the new clip and reiterate the loop. Make any sense? You can do all sorts of stuff this way; you can pass in urls to link to, all sorts of stuff. Alternatively, you can make one big text field that's HTML enabled, and use string parsing to lay things out. Up to you. Feel free to mail me if you want more specifics. Other Business (at the risk of incuring flame): Now, as for 'read the cf maual' [sic]. A) you've obviously mis-understood the question. B) Don't you think that, as a response to a (seemingly) newbie question, RTFM is a sentiment more fitting of the ASP community? Come on now. The ColdFusion development community shouldn't be eating it's young, here. We're smarter than that.
