I'll use this time to plug haXe / neko. Well, haXe includes neko. Using this amazing new system, you can build your swf's and build the website backend for the functionality. haXe and Neko are open source and although very small, they are also very very fast and feature rich. Plus, the dependencies for haXe / Neko are minimal compared to Ruby, Python or PHP. As for the data transport, you can use XML calls to and from, though a much more robust remoting is due in the future. Trust me, learn it now and be at the forefront.
Look at www.haxe.org and www.nekovm.org Lee -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad Royer Sent: 23 March 2006 16:49 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Using Flash with Ruby on Rails Hi All, Was considering ruby on rails as a backend platform for flash apps, as it seems much quicker to set up database/sql transactions than using PHP. I have some little experience with PHP, but I'm at the point where I pretty much need to relearn it or pick something else, so I thought now might be a good time to check out RoR. I haven't been able to find much information at all about how Flash/AS2 might communicate with a Ruby on Rails app. One person suggested a couple of javascript implementations, but I'd prefer to avoid javascript if I can. Has anybody had any experience/success using these together, or should I just stick with PHP? thanks in advance, chad _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
