Hello, I worked on the "Royale" project now publicly known as Flex Presentation Server (a RIA solution) here at Macromedia and this is worth checking out if you haven't seen it already - http://www.macromedia.com/software/flex/
(flex white paper)http://www.macromedia.com/go/flex_tech_wp plus, Flash MX 2004 has some new, cool controls that simplify connecting to backend data sources, webservice, xml, ... BTW - I'm new to the list. I've been with MACR, formerly Allaire Corp, since 1997 and have been working on the CF Team nearly all that time. This is a great forum. - Bill -----Original Message----- From: Justin Balog [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 11:47 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Best Methodology/Framework for building RIA I fall into the later category. I have used Sean's FlashRemotingCFC and it has worked well for our application thus far. Mach-ii is pretty popular right now (and rightly so), and the posts on www.fusebox.org are mentioning a better integration with flash in the future release. By no means do I have my finger on the pulse of Mach-ii, but I like it quite a bit, and am working on an application using it with Flash. I do think there are some nuances using it with flash, but it seems too effective not to have it work more cleanly. Basically keeping my fingers crossed =) Just FYI. I tried to find the url but Sean has a good article out on Macromedia.com that talks about the Facade pattern that they used for macromedia.com. Seemed like a good architecture for flash from those who do it best. Also, have you looked at FLEX? Take care, Justin This a url I found, but I remember there being more? http://www.macromedia.com/special/under_the_hood/report1/#coldfusion-flash -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Bruck [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2003 9:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [CFCDev] Best Methodology/Framework for building RIA Everyone, I have been doing quite a bit of research/reading over the course of the this week for finding the best methodology/framework for building Rich Internet Apps (RIA). I have built many apps (even very complex) utilizing Fusebox (all versions and even FuseQ). I have been doing research/testing with Mach II and like its use of CFCs, but even Sean Corfeild states that it isn't good for developing RIA. I know that Hal Helms has been looking for a flash developer to do the Roulette example with a flash front end though -- not sure of the status though. Does anyone know of a good framework/methodology that works well with building RIA? Any good examples out there? Since we are purely rebuilding a large chunk of our app using CFC's, am I better using Mach II and hoping I (or someone) can create an elegant solution when we are ready to start creating the Flash stuff (will utilize Flash Remoting). Or should I just use FuseQ (fusebox) with CFC's and know I will be refactoring again to do the RIA stuff? THANK!
