I am currently working on a sample Flex application that requires the ability to upload files to a destination server. I found this article on the Adobe website, by Ryan Favro. It’s a really nice simple example of how to achieve file uploads using Flex and ColdFusion.
Multiple File Upload with Flex and Coldfusion
This is a really nice demonstration / working app from Adobe. The application is built using Adobe Flex 2 and runs in Adobe AIR. The application has been built to showcase Flex 2’s visual components and the interactivity a Flex application can provide.
The application allows small groups to share digital content, exchange ideas, centralise information and […]
The Adobe AIR cross platform runtime is now available for Linux and is available for download from Adobe Labs. This is quite a significant step towards the Adobe AIR runtime working across all three major platforms (Windows, MAC and Linux) and will strengthen the case for the building or rich desktop based apps within Adobe AIR […]
I ran into an annoying problem today, that was eventually solved by forcing the current processing thread to sleep.
The basic task was to stop a windows service on the server, perform some deletions, do some copying, then restart the service.

The site is at http://www.inkscape.org.
Found a nice simple RSS reader example at Jonathan Fisher’s blog (northcubed). It is built using Flex Builder 3 and runs in the Adobe AIR runtime on the user’s desktop. Chromeless windows are supported and full source code is available to view or download.
This is the look and logo for Adobe Air as discovered over at Mike Chambers blog - introducing the Adobe Air Logo. I personally think the logo is great. Clean, simple and easy to recognise.Mike says “I am not going to go into a detailed analysis of what the logo represents, but I do want to […]
A few months back I was confronted with the problem of writing a fairly large CSV file using ColdFusion. The file size was around 10mb so I got to work with cffile. After building the code, I sat back and pushed the button to test. BANG! the memory on the ColdFusion server was sky high […]
The answer to the question above is very much a question of security. Facing the same question at the moment, I believe it would be best to move all CFC’s into a globally accessible shared mapping. From here the CFC’s can then be divided by project or use, similar to Java notation for a package. […]
