I hate the Flash Timeline. Therefore, I don't use it :) Everytime I tried to learn Flash before this whole RIA thing, I got stuck trying to figure out the whole timeline and layer thing. I don't use either in all my rich internet application development. I do all screen-based development.

Actionscript is basically javascript.. I picked it up in a flash (so to speak) ;) Because I already knew a lot about javascript. Having now read the rest of your message, I see that you don't know javascript.. that actually surprises me, I thought every coldfusion developer knew javascript =) I guess I'll concede this point, but if one is unwilling to learn new things, one will be unable to do new things. > At this point, I don't see any reason to use "Flash Forms" just because they > look nicer, > which would require a user to have Flash installed, when I can make "pretty" > forms using CSS... If you get on the beta, post that to the cf_richforms group. And I'll respond =) It's not all about making them prettier. It's about making them more usable, more cross-platform compatible, and more functional. > I'd like to be able to build some web-based apps with software-like > functionality, without > having to resort to JavaScript or ActionScript...just within Cold Fusion > server and CFML capabilities...
