Flash question - newbie

2004-01-05 Thread Stephen Hait
I'm interested in learning about developing applications on CFMX 
that utilize Flash but I confess I'm confused as to what I would 
need to do this. There seem to be various products; Flash MX 
2004, Flash MX Pro 2004 and Studio MX 2004 with Flash Pro, 
etc. that might do this.

What's the minimum software requirement for developing Flash 
apps? What would be the benefits of alternatives to the minimum?

I own CF Studio 5 if that's a factor.

Sorry this sounds so lame but I've never created anything with 
Flash and am clueless.

Regards,
Stephen

The only 2 tools you need Flash MX 2004 Professional and Sapien's 
PrimalScript www.sapien.com.

There are a couple of good books to get you going:
Macromedia Flash MX 2004 ActionScript: Training from the Source
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0321213432/qid=1073329947//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i0_xgl14/103-1014540-8267857?v=glances=booksn=507846

Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 for Server Geeks:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735713820/ref=pd_sim_books_4/103-1014540-8267857?v=glances=books

That's my 2 cents...

At a minimum, Flash Pro with or without the studio (not sure if you need
that extra stuff) and the free developer version of CFMX (which comes with
Flash Remoting).

You could get away with the standard version of Flash but the additional
components and integrated AS editor in Pro make it worth it.

It's not really, but its a much better editor with a class browser for 
AS2... Plus it has some good CF stuff and it just plain rocks.

to use any of the new data components, you have to get the pro version. 
AFAIK you can use FMX 2004 with remoting, but not to the extent as you 
can with the Pro version.
