I thought this was an interesting use of Flex 2 with ColdFusion.
Has anyone mentioned there will be a quick demo at tomorrow night's meeting of building a Flex 3 app with FlexBuilder and ColdFusion? :) Seth Snow Ball Fight 2007 featuring Adobe Flex 2 and Flex Data Services It's officially the start of Snow Ball Fight 2007 guest-starring Adobe Flex 2 and Flex Data Services. This is a quick, holiday example of what Flex 2 and Flex Data Services simplify. 1) Flex 2 Data Services' real-time publish/subscribe capability. I am using two producers and two consumers to message the the days until December 25 2007, and allowing connected clients to message back and forth (humorously called throwing a snowball). Tip: You can either open two browser windows or have a friend go to the same demo to try the messaging back and forth. 2) Loading and playing MP3's (as well as muting and re-playing the sound) 3) Using a non-default preloader (a snowflake) 4) Adding a backgroundImage Flash swf (snowing effect) 5) Utilizing a ColdFusion CFC to communicate with a mySQL database backend to store the messages in the snowballs thrown. I hope this example helps you with your Flex 2 coding and further entices you to experiment with Flex 2 and Flex 2 Data Services.
