How to use an MVC framework to construct a simple Flex application querying a CFC
by Simon Bailey
I will be discussing the benefits of using a specific MVC framework named PureMVC in a Flex application with the benefit of class re-utlisation. Using PureMVC I will demonstrate how to create a re-usable remote delegate class to handle all ColdFusion connectivity and a Remote Proxy to communicate with the delegate and handle all results from ColdFusion. I will discuss how to feed this data back and forth throughout the application and map data to specific value objects for communication between Flex and CF ensuring strong data typing.
