COMPETITION WITH A PRIZE!! Check this list: http://www.macromedia.com.au/ria and these from our partners: http://www.showtime.com.au (Generator Interactive) http://bazaar.daemon.com.au (Daemon) http://www.pizzahut.co.nz (ZeroOne) and this demo for a flashcom app with source code: http://203.222.140.54/show/show.html (Me) There are also quite a lot in development by our partners that are still under wraps. A simple RIA can do a lot. The etrade and iokio examples are not more than a page or two of code each. I've said this at various usergroups and meetings recently: If you're going to upskill to Flash any time in the next few years, now is the time to do it, while Flash skills and sites will still stand out from the pack. A year from now I think RIAs will be far more common, and you'll have less of a competitive advantage. Of all Australian developers, cfaussies are the ones who shouldn't miss out on this. The good news is that Australia and New Zealand are disproportionately well represented in the RIA stakes worldwide - we've got a good developer community here (even Ben Forta thinks so). The other good news is that CF skills can be transferred to flash - our training partners offer advanced actionscript and DRIA (Developing Rich Internet Applications, targetted explicitly at CF developers learning Flash) courses, and there's the cfaussie's sister list fugli for flash programming questions. I'm also thinking of using Breeze Live to start a virtual Australia-wide fortnightly meeting for Flash Developers (not designers) in MMUGs and CFUGs to help spread the skills. If you have any other ideas on how we can help let me know. But for now, here's an offer you (everyone on cfaussie who hasn't built an RIA yet, not just Mike) can't refuse: reply to this post with your mail address, subject RIA ENTRY, I will send you free a book on building RIAs with Flash and CF. In return, within a month's time you need to post me a url to your prototype flash/cf app you've built. I will put names and links up on a public list, cfaussie will take a vote on the best one and Macromedia will pay the winner's registration fee for MXDU next year (that is assuming it's on, but the last one was so bloody fantastic it's almost a certainty...:-) Good luck! -- Robin Hilliard Technical Sales Engineer - Australia/New Zealand Certified Advanced Cold Fusion MX Developer Certified Flash MX Developer Macromedia, Inc.

Can anyone point me towards some real-life examples of flash remoting in action? I tried to explain how it benefits a site and I think all I did was confuse rather than excite.
