Just get stuck in there, get hold of an ActionScript book to answer the basics go here http://chattyfig.figleaf.com and sign up to flashcoders and flashnewbie. Open the ActionScript Dictionary (Help > AS Dictionary) from within Flash and become one with it. Be prepared to get very confused with some things and to then realise it's a bug in flash and not your code :OS
I've had some very basic questions which where very well answered on flashnewbie, so don't be afraid to ask. Ade -----Original Message----- From: Ellwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 23 November 2003 20:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] Flash MX Being a seasoned Coldfusion developer who has been coding Coldfusion MX since its launch and also now the MX 6.1 outing little seems to phase me. But moving into the CFC arena and starting to develop 'Rich Internet Application' it has become almost a standard requirement for me to branch into the Flash MX environment. This scares the hell out of me as I have been told that CF'ers And FMX'ers work best away from each other only coming together when the applications they develop need to talk. So as you can tell, it is with much trepidation that I have ventured forth into the darkness with only my trusty gardener 'Sam' to protect me (sorry, wrong story). However, I feel almost as daunted as young Mr Frodo in my quest to bring better applications to my clients. The question I am finally getting to is this, how many of you guys have already gone blindly forth into the night and found your way through the dead marshes to achieve the goal of a Flash CF hybrid programmer? If so, how many of those of you that have got this far, have some good advice for those of us still putting our toe in the water so to speak? Are there any tried and trusted resources? Books, Online tutorials, presentations, etc. And also, of those that failed and followed the lights to join the dead within the marshes, what would you warn me against? Working as a freelancer it is important that I don't spend a great deal of time following a path that has been trodden before which bears no fruit. This List has always shown a mature and constructive response to my post in the past and I hope this is true again here.
