Flex remoteObject() and Cold Fusion

I’ve recently started using Adobe Flex, and so far I really love it. Since I’m unable to design my way out of a wet paper bag, having pretty little components available like the datagrid has made me very happy.

Today i’m going to talk about my new friend remoteObject(), and since I am primarily a ColdFusion developer, i’ll be discussing specifically how to use it within a CF application. Those of you using other server side languages may want to stick it out, if for nothing more just to see how beautifully Flex can separate your view from your model. As far as the Flex side of things, it’s pretty similar between platforms anyhow. In this tutorial, I will show how to use remoteObject() to connect to a object on the server, and then display the results from this object in a flex datagrid.
