If I am understanding this discussion that you are trying to learn
Flex and CF at the same time is an accurate statement then I would
have to make the following recommendation.
1. You should totally get involved with attending our monthly AFFUG meetings.
2. You might want to try this strictly in CF before trying to hook
into FLEX. Write your code in CF to where you are comfortable with
the functionality as you have describe so far. A returning
recordset with pagination and save, add function.
3. Get comfortable writing CFC's in CF and learn remote functions/methods
4. Search and or study how you can use web services, remote
procedure calls and http requests to interact with Flex.
I do appreciate those suggestions, thanks. And I do have plans to
attempt to make the next meeting on April 29th. But I definitely
need to make some serious progress before then...
I'm not sure I have the time to learn CF first... I didn't know
learning CF would be required when I started learning Flex. (They
really should list that as a pre-requisite on the Flex website, if
it's truly that necessary.) I really have no desire to learn CF at
all... I guess I've got to buy some CF books. Anyone have any good
suggestions?
Secondly -- you say that I can do this strictly in CF, yes? So why
use Flex at all? I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here -- it just
seems a bit redundant to me, to have the same functionality in both
environments... I want to accomplish this task with little or no CF,
really. I know that CF is needed to act as a "gateway" between my
Flex app and the SQL database, fine -- but isn't there a "generic" or
"automatic" way to just get CF to handle the requests from the Flex
app? Do I really have to write everything in CF first, then "port"
it to Flex? It still seems so overly complicated to me...
Thirdly -- I definitely work best by example. Can anyone point me to
some code that will do what I am trying to do in the example I posted
above? The simple Flex app I mentioned that reads from my SQL table
and allows me to display and edit it, one record at a time?
