I have already answered this publicly in user groups, so I might as well answer it here too ...
No, the CF generated Flash forms do not support SOAP or Remoting calls within a form, at least not this time around. Blackstone generates Flash forms that function like (and can replace) HTML forms, and return data just like HTML forms. You have some additional controls, new formatting options, bindings between controls, some client-side events, input masking, and some other features, but they are still forms that work just like HTML forms. To go beyond forms, full applications, server-side events (via SOAP or Remoting), data presentation, applications (as opposed to page based Web apps), ... that is where you'll need Flex. --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Burns, John D [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 2:35 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Re: Blackstone to provide built-in In response to the question, I didn't hear anything about "remoting" being built into the forms. I did hear that Blackstone will be able to generate forms automatically in Flash and thus provide some built in variable checking and error messages and such before submission, but then the rest is just like a normal form. Maybe they're planning something that I missed, but I didn't see anything about that.
