Whether you know or not, Model-Glue is a pure OO web application framework based on the MVC design pattern. Its goal is to simplify development of OO ColdFusion and Flex applications. Using Model-Glue framework you can create Rich Internet Application easily and with less coding than others.I have not looked at the code and not used it yet,even there are not any documentation on the website–so it’s hard to say how good it will be,but I will try it as soon possible–at least it seems very strong and very perfect.

So,I’ve been lucky over the years to always have someone that can build the back-end data structure for a project. But, as a result, I’ve let myself become less knowledgeable as I should be on what technologies to use and work best in certain situations. So lately I’ve been trying to get up to speed in this area and have been playing around with RubyAMF, AMF PHP, and SWX PHP as solutions for Flash/Flex to server communication.
I’ve been the most impressed with technologies that use AMF (Action Message Format). AMF is a binary format for exchanging data. It’s mostly used to transfer data between Flash/Flex applications and a database via a remoting request. In a remoting call, the external elements being called would be application tier services, which would likely be running on an application server such as Adobe ColdFusion, Java, PHP, or .NET.

Recently, when I building Flex applications, I compile the codes and then run the browser that just points at the SWF file to test it.Compiling can be a huge time sink especially even I’m making small changes.So I tried to find some extendsion or plugin to improve my working efficiency. Lucky,I digged Flex Module for Apache and IIS, which gives developers the ability to code a Flex application and then run that code on the servers just like most web technologies including ASP.NET or PHP.

Yep, we often use some effect to response the user’s action in flex, when building the user interface. For example, if users click a botton, the label will move to right a little just like that.
Consideing the following case: When a user clicks the botton, the label will realize switching between two states and during the switching will show two different effect. If the user repeatedly click the botton and the interval time shorter than the effect time. How to deal with it? Continue reading »
