Background:

I've used Transfer, MG, and CS (DI-only) together on a project before,
so I'm familiar with those pieces.

For the project I'm on now, it will require MG and Flex to use the
same model, so I'm planning to use the above stack, as well as some
technology that's new to me, namely CS for Remote Proxy generation (to
remotely expose parts of my internal Services), Flex, and maybe
Conduit. I've got the CS Remote Proxy part working in a rudimentary
sort of way, and I can hit these remote methods from Flex (via Flash
Remoting), but that's about as far as I've gotten on the Flex <=> CFMX
front (which isn't very far).

Here's the part I need help on:

1. My remote methods currently return Transfer objects, and I need to
learn how to go from those to populate forms in Flex.
2. I also need to be able to save down Flex forms via my remote
service methods.

I've been reading Mark's recent posts (http://groups.google.com/group/
transfer-dev/browse_thread/thread/d7f650f4a8dd482e) and blogs (http://
compoundtheory.com/?action=displayCategory&ID=58) on Conduit, but I'm
too new to Flex to be able to get my head around it. I could really
use a simple sample Conduit app. Mark, you wouldn't happen to have one
in the works, would you?

Alternatively, it would help me to see a sample Flex app that uses
Transfer on the back-end in the old-school way (pre-Conduit, using
what, DTOs? or something)? (Of course this begs the question that
anybody is actually using Transfer in a Flex back-end.)

Failing that, if anybody could point me to their favorite *modern*
sample application that uses Flex/CFMX, I'd be very appreciative.
There's a pretty decent amount of information about CFMX+Flex, but so
much of it is about the Flex ColdFusion Project Wizard (which I can
only assume from past experience with code generators, and wizard-
generated applications, is not a good long-term solution), "hello
world" level examples, and old articles whose currency/validity is
suspect.

That turned out to be a long and needy post. Maybe you can tell that
I'm struggling. ;-) Anyway, I'd appreciate any discussion whatsoever
that I can drum up.

Thanks,
Jamie
