Need a ColdFusion Based FLEX Application Example

Hello All, I’m a ColdFusion programmer looking to get into FLEX for building a simple web application. Does anyone know of a good posted CF tutorial that shows you a simple FLEX page with input box’s and dynamically populated dropdowns that when you click submit a records inserted into a database table and the user then goes to a thank you page? Thanks, -Jim

Here is a publicly available Flex application that queries a database,   populates a drop down and processes data input from the Flex UI.  Its   a simple app, but some knowledge of the PureMVC is required to build   on the project.  That said, the basics you need (minus the thank-you   page you desire, though there is a responder following data   submission) are there and I think clear enough for understanding. http://trac.puremvc.org/Demo_AS3_Flex_CF_QueryCFC Simon newtriks.com On 21 Mar 2008, at 15:07, James Blaha wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hi Simon, Thank you for your post. Do you know of any example sites that also show making a secure FLEX application? I.e. Login page and securing the data exchanges. -Jim

not of the top of my head, sure peeps like raymond camden or such have   covered it? On 21 Mar 2008, at 15:30, James Blaha wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

RPC calls occur over HTTP, so secure same as any other CF app really. DK On Fri, Mar 21, 2008 at 10:51 AM, Simon Bailey <nutrix@btopenworld.com> wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hi DK, Does using RPC require restarts of the ColdFusion application service? -Jim

I don't know what you are doing with ColdFusion, but I rarely have/had to restart it.  Also, Flex is UI, so is largely independent of this sort of thing.

How are you planning on doing your data exchange? Via Remoting? In   that case you need to set up a Secure Remoting destination which I   found a complete b*tch to do, but with some help got there in the end.   Let me know if you need more info. Once SSL logins are working you can secure your CFCs via roles. Here's   some info on that part: http://www.brucephillips.name/blog/index.cfm/2006/11/27/Login-and-Logout-Flex-Example-That-Uses-ColdFusion-CFLogin-and-CFC-Role-Security Regards, Stefan On 21 Mar 2008, at 15:30, James Blaha wrote: ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Hi Stephan, I looking for something easy and secure is RPC the best way to go? -Jim

I am just learning flex as well.  I don't have this app posted anywhere public but was just messing around with it on my development server.  You can download the files and check them out.  Basically I have a flex app that displays a login screen which posts the username/password to a cfc.  If the login is ok it then changes the view to a data management page for the users with complete CRUD functionality.  I don't know if this is as secure as you need but at least its a start.
