A couple of sites we've done using Cold Fusion to drive Flash Navigation and content are at http://edisongrassroots.com/ and http://servicecentral.com/ - the Cold Fusion part of the interface is more apparent on the Service Central site, where all the content is being dynamically pulled from a database, and only the navigation is flash, as opposed to the Edison site, where the entire site is generated Flash.

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.

RE: Macromedia and Allaire to Merge -- A couple examples of mixin g technologies
Very impressive! This (elegantly) illustrates how bandwidth can be reduced, and interactivity enhanced, by use of Flash... The contents of the search form are refreshed without refreshing the page/form, itself. truly, less is more! The drag & drop implementation is intuitive and user-friendly. The resize is an amazing "usability" feature... the contents of the page are resized along with the window... the user need not bother with scroll bars to view the entire page. The fact that a single codebase supports multiple browsers and platforms transparently, and that the application looks *exactly* the same on all... offers a significant enhancement to productivity in deploying and maintaining an application. With a front-end such as this, we will see a new genre of web applications: seamless data entry & maintenance "what if" type prototyping interactive training There is a lot more to this than just an attractive page. I didn't notice any glitz or distracting animation... just an easy to use application. Very impressive!
