> read up on your options. There are many good resources and opinions about frameworks online.
Am I barking up the wrong tree by trying to discover places on the web that would help me build a framework based on Flex 2.0.1 or Moxie using ColdFusion (no fds/lcds) and MySQL/MSSQL? As an artsy guy, I am better at creating things, than for example trying to take something complex like Cairngorm and force my brain to work within its constraints. Services seem so critical that splitting it up with a full model/view/controller/services design makes sense to me (the app I'm building is currently almost entirely HTTPServices for the front end, the e4x/xml files for which are built from CF scripts that pull the data from a SQL db and generate the xml files - i.e., CF builds the the backend/admin area data for use as the front end--client--xml files). There are also aspects (like blog-type entries) that make much more sense to use remoting over HTTPService in the front end. The reason for this approach is that not everyone has CF, and I want to offer (this will be for free, open source to all) at least the gallery to people who can go and manually recreate the xml files in notepad if necessary...no CF required. Philosophies/examples using MCVS with straight Flex 2.0.1 and CF7.0.2 are what I think I need to use as my entry point into all this. Shawn
