[Arp] How to Set up Netconnection for Coldfusion?

Sun Jan 8 22:36:48 PST 2006

I like the Idea of Encapsulation for hiding things, perfectly legit and
Design Pattern Approved --- hee hee.  It's definitely good Business Sense.
Geezz I am full of puns... I think I'm picking up on your sense of humour.

The flash project that I am working on is actually is a temporary fix for
the Bugs in Flex 2 alpha.  Actually, we started working on Flex 2 alpha, but
soon ran into many bugs, so I had to stop, and now gone back to flash.  Why
not Flex 1.5, well, too much "Dinero" to spend for only a short usage time.
Anyhow, now, the Flash App will be built and migrate to Flex 2.

I took Jeff Tapper's excellent AS3 Flex2 web services code and modified it
to work with CFAdapter.
