I totally disagree.. getting it 'connected' is the easy part. The actual movement and animation (for which Flash is designed) is the difficult part. Flash is one of those progs which you need to be [a] a good designer [b] a good animator. If you are neither then stay clear of Flash or you will just be producing the same old crap.
I think a proper 'Spectrum of Participants' :-) is required for these Rich Client movies as one single CF developer aint gonna blow things out of the water with poor Flash skills and a little DB connectivity. Flash is an animation/loose design tool CF is a Server Scripting Environment The divide is huge. N Though I would love to see someones reaction to this course who is a complete novice to Flash scripting etc.. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 September 2002 04:19 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Ben's J2EE Book Hi, Raymond. Thanks for the news. Sounds perfect. Once I figure out that I can program the Flash/CF Interface (i.e., make money with it!), then I'll figure out how to make it look great... that's really the easiest part. The only questions now are: 1. Is this an online course or will I have to travel to a class to attend? 2. Is there a cost or is this free course? 3. Got a time-frame for when the course will be ready? 1-3 months, 3-6 months?

Folks, I've only looked at the first 6 units, but what I see so far I love. It is a very NON ART Flash AS type class. All of the things I learned were not things that required even the tiniest amount of artistic ability. What I did learn was to use form type controls and action script, which are things that are very useful for web applications. This is like the DREAM class for tech geeks. It is _exactly_ in line with what I want as a developer. Oh - and as far as I can see - there is no tweening. ;) ======================================================================= Raymond Camden, ColdFusion Jedi Master for Hire Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM : morpheus "My ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda > -----Original Message----- > From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, September 29, 2002 3:00 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Ben's J2EE Book > > > Neil, let check and see what I can share.
