Haven't heard of FusionScript before today, but it looks impressive. Please show me where the differences are, but it sure looks like FusionScript is a viable replacement in many ways for Flash Remoting without the need to purchase an expensive app, climb that extensive learning curve (espeically for those of us who know no Javascript), or bother with creating special graphics. What I've been considering Flash MX for is creating one-page applications, that update "onChange" and FusionScript seems a relatively simple way to achieve that.  The tutorials seem simple enough. What am I missing?

Really neat API ... I have some issues with implementing it -- mostly that it requires being either in the custom tags directory or in the same local directory it's being called fro... Since my apps generally use multiple sub-directories and are designed with the intent of making them compatible with shared hosting, there's not a good way for me to implement the current version of the API... Plus, it's still really young and going through a lot of debugging and such, so I'm waiting for it to mature a bit before integrating it into my apps, but it looks very promising. Particularly the ActiveServer component which allows you to pass data to and from the CF Server without a page reload. This can also be done with Flash (and I suspect in some cases in future versions of the API may be done with Flash in FusionScript), but the API abstracts all this so that you don't need to know Flash to use this functionality. But it has little to do with cfscript. ;P S. Isaac Dealey Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5 Developer www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046
