You don't need CFMX to use flash as a replacement, there are tons of people that use Flash with CF 5 now. Check it out, I myself haven't done it, but I know it's possible.

And we're working on CF5 for the foreseeable future. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

If I were you I would go this route, faster, and works throughout every browser as long as they have the plugin which is usually installed on every machine.

Where were you when I had to develop the apps??! <g. Anyway, the app is for producing a whole lot of documents for a radio station, including the day's playlist. There are about 5000 songs in the station's database and the programmer has to select from these records and insert them into the runsheet. This automatically produces the station log, the dj's playlist, tells the dj which CDs to pull from the library, the playlist on the web site, the royalty returns for APRA and the communication back to the artists that the station is playing their material etc. In other words, when the programmer points at a song and clicks, a whole range of things are put in motion at the station. The advantage of CFTREE is that the whole library can be displayed as artistname on the left of a screen, and when you click on the artist, it displays all the songs in the library for that artist, and one click does all the remaining jobs. I tried using a search screen or dropdown selection controls and none of them worked - the drop down was FAR too long (there are currently 513 artists in this database) and the search took just too long. (The standard we have to meet is that 45 songs have to be programmed in less than 30 minutes) So ... If CFTREE isn't to be used, then what? I'm open to suggestions. I wasn't happy on Friday night I can tell you, to learn that this app suddenly didn't work after the station upgraded all their browsers to IE6, and the programming for this week was not possible. I have fudged a temporary solution for them but it's slower than the old one and won't do for very long. Any ideas as to how I can select QUICKLY songs from the 5000 (and growing) database would be appreciated.

There are tons of html replacements that will do near enough the same job and work 100% of the time across every browser.

The problem is that CFTREE (and I assume CFGRID) don't work with IE6 or NN6.2 browsers. They'll display the tree but not pass the node values to the form. So CFTREE applications appear to work at first sight, but when you click "submit" on the form they're passing values to, you get an error. This is apparently related to the versions of the java plugins and the version used by CF5. (I have no idea if the problem is also in CFMX. I don't use it yet.) Well I posted here that I was disturbed that people had been complaining here on this list and on the dev centre forums that this problem exists and no one from Macromedia would acknowledge the problem existed and therefore pay any attention to looking at a fix. Apparently the solution was to rewrite all the applications to use some other technology. In other words a "Tough sh*t" solution. I got a reply from Neil Clark of Macromedia who said he'd make sure I was told what's happening about this issue, and if there was nothing happening about it, he'd see what he could do about getting it on someone's agenda. There has been a brief exchange of suggestions which I'm in the process of working through. The point is, I wanted you all to know that thanks to Neil Clark, a resolution to this issue is on the way.
