1. u cant natively preload the version 2 components as is. u have 2 do a work around to do it.
2. the new data components wont preload at all and u cant effectively use them off of the 1st frame, which basically makes them pretty damn useless. (this is the 1st time i have been pissed at MM)
3. the data bindings components really only add 1 simple line of code, grrrrrrr
the new remoting component was awesome! less than a minute to make movie and connect!
BUT, just using the remoting component, a dataset component & a Datagrid made the flash movie 120 kb and u couldnt preload it & the remoting call had to be on 1st frame. So basically worthless.
So i told Paul Newman at www.communitymx.com that i would make a small app and do it all except implementing the new v2 remoting classes, if he'd do an article on it. And so it is, Case Study: Using the New Flash Remoting Classes at www.communitymx.com.
this case study not only includes remoting but the following
* preloading the v2 components
* defining the cfc
* making a contact form utilizing the new validation classes on drk 7 (awesome!) and sending the email via remoting through the cfc
* populating a listbox with a query run by the new remoting classes via cfc
* opening and displaying selected record from listbox in seperate movieclip in textarea with a photo display
basically, i tried to take what i heard most ppl having problems with and have them implemented into this small app. At the sametime MM releases the V2 remoting classes so I wanted it to include the newest classes as of which no tuts existed yet.
If u want to see the app (although the graphics have changed) you may view it at
