Sean, I was wondering if you could expand on Plugins? :) Furthermore, does anyone know of a similiar framework for Flash MX? I've started down my own framework that mimics our current CFMX framework (Code named BATFINK), but i am starting to like Mach-II concepts and am thinking about expanding this concept into flash, whats your thoughts on attempting this.

The visual design phase also isn't affected by using CFCs. The software design phase - for the business logic - needs to consider OOA/D (Object-Oriented Analysis & Design) but it's up to you how OO you go... > 2) build projects in a structured way (ie methodologies) Benoit Hedard's site had some good information about what he called "MVCF" - MVC in CF - and was close to a methodology for constructing software. I believe the site is offline right now and Benoit's busy on a project but when it comes back, it's worth reading: http://www.benorama.com/ (http://www.benorama.com/coldfusion/ I think) Then there's Mach II - an MVC-based framework that supports OO development of CF: http://www.mach-ii.com/ See also: http://www.corfield.org/machii/ Are you looking for more 'background information' on how to design / build OO applications? Folks have been recommending several books lately so check the archives.
