CFuze Blog : ActionScript

Flex Benchmarks!!

CFuze has been using Flex, ColdFusion, AIR, and the AMF protocols for quite a few years now, but lately we have been discussing a change in strategy. Not away from these products but in how we can make them even faster and manage memory better to build even more stable applications. While cruising the internet and blogs, I happened upon an amazing application built by James Ward, http://www.jamesward.com which benchmarks Flex data calls using the variety of methods, SOAP, AJAX, JSON, DOJO, etc. An amazing application that really demonstrates the benefits gained by using remoting.

The application can be found here: http://www.jamesward.com/census

New Component for Download - CF_GoogleImages

A personal project came up where I needed to be able to return the first photo of the google image search; kind of like, google's get lucky for images. I wanted to be able to get the photo, copy it and resize it to my server, then take the new path, store it in the database so it can be displayed in a grid. It works amazingly well and is even better when you utilize flash remoting with your flash cfform. Anyway, I have simplified and documented the CFC and it is available for anyone to download in the downloads section. I plan on releasing more of my personal components, UDF's, and custom tags pretty soon, so please come back and check!

If you have any problems or questions, please just comment on this blog for others!
