Doug our current President did this exact presentation some time last year. 
I believe the examples are listed on the AFFUG website, or at least the used to 
be. 

Guys are these resources still on the site?

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? 

Thanks,
