UFlash Meeting - Data Management
July 23rd, 2007 by Rob TaylorWithin the family of Flash CS3, Flex 2/3 and the Flash 9 player, there is an abundant amount of ways to deal with data, both local and remote. Making the right decision as far as what technologies to use can make pinnacle difference in the success of your application. On Thursday’s meeting, we will have an open forum to discuss what options are available and what have proven to work best. This is everybody’s chance to teach and learn. Bring your solutions on how you deal with these different areas:
· Displaying Data (What components do you use or have challenges with?)
· Managing Data (XML, JSON, Array Collections, etc: What have you found works best?)
· Sending and Receiving Remote Data (PHP, ASP, Remoting, etc: What server technology do you use, and in what format do you send it in?)
· Sending and Retrieving Local Data (Shared Objects, Local Connection, External Interface, Zinc, Apollo: What do you use?)
· Alternative AS3 Options (GZip, AMF3, Zip Archives: What are some of the new AS3 formats you have chosen to use to distribute data?)
The meeting will be held this Thursday at the MediaRain office at 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
