Wow. Gene, who peed in your cereal? Even YOU started as a beginner and from your answers here, you still are a newb.

Now this is really good code!

<cfscript>
i = Ass;
s = Silly;
Campag = (s & ' ' & i);
writeoutput(Campag);

abudahim,

Flex is a nice way to create client side applications. It can run as a stand-alone "SWF" application, but if you want to interact with any types of data that exist on a server, you need a server interface. Most Flex programmers use ColdFusion server to allow that interface to the data on the server. You can move, create, and alter files, access database servers, and create PDF/Flash Paper outputs using ColdFusion.

ColdFusion is basically the least expensive server interface option (and the simplist in my opinion) for Flex.

I should note that Flex cannot do everything ColdFusion can do as Flex requires a server interface for the above mentioned. Once your applications require data from the server, you will need an interface. ColdFusion can do almost everything that Flex can once you incorporate AJAX technologies, but because AJAX is a js/xml/html/css combined technology - it does suffer the bugs of various browsers where Flash (or Flex) is a compiled "swf" file that, in theory, is more platform robust once compiled.

Hope this answers your question.

A child may very well be capable of competing in the datatona 500. I am not familiar with it.

Now, now Gene. That's not a helpful attitude. Everyone started off as
a beginner.

He asked a question and we should be civil in our responses.

Perhaps you should "Gete" some spelling skillz first eh?

abudahim,
The purpose of these forums is to help each other ... no matter what skill level you have. It is that simple. I'm ashamed that there may be more experienced Flex/Cold Fusion developers out there that don't share this basic value.

In that spirit, I've been using ColdFusion since 1996. It is a very powerful, easy to learn solution for dynamic web applications. Over the years, I've struggled with how limited the HTML user experience is. Enter Flex. Flex simply provides a richer user experience.

I don't see them as separate products at all. I see it as Allaire-Macromedia-Adobe finally achieving the ultimate power app -rich UI with easy data integration.

re: Gete skills first and then post.

That equates to "find the answer, then post the question" - whats the point
in that??

re: This is like asking a Child drive in the datatona 500.

The person racing the car started off as a child - catch my drift??

Get a contractor and let somebody that has the skills get it done.
This is like asking a Child drive in the datatona 500.

Gete skills first and then post.
