People who want to see a killer demo of integrating CF and Flash should look
at FigLeaf's org chart demo that Steve mentions. Imagine having the ability
to do this kind of interface easily--that would be a bee-yoo-tiful thing.

Subject: RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge -- A couple examples of
mixin g technologies
I'm afraid that Dave gave out the url of a very early prototype that we
created over a year ago using Flash 4 and CF...the demo (with code ripped
from the production app) is actually located here...
http://www.figleaf.com/development/flash4/orgchart/orgchart.cfm
This demonstrates the use of Flash and CF to create an org-chart interface.
You can lookup users by name (passing information to a CF page for data
retrieval) and then drag names into the appropriate locations on the chart.
Clicking the Save button passes the information back to CF for DB
processing. A couple additional benefits are that the org chart dynamically
resizes based on browser resizing and the EXACT SAME CODEBASE works on
Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer...
Other data-driven demos are available at
http://www.figleaf.com/figleafhome/flash/ and the Harpoon project is all
about creating data-driven Flash business objects from CF. At the ACFUG and
ChiFug this month, I will be demonstrating using CF, Flash, Spectra, and
Generator for content management purposes. This compelling mix of
technologies is what we feel will drive the web in the future. Is it a
panacea? No...but it does deliver many compelling advantages.

NOW, it does. It didn't last night. I guess it wasn't quite ready for
prime time then.
Thanks.

permanent.)
