I just finished the final webinar in my 3-part series on PHP and the Flash Platform. You can watch parts one and two and today’s recording should be available soon. Today I showcased a great tool that was created by fellow evangelist James Ward which lets you see the performance gains when using AMF and Flex over things like AJAX and regular XML integration.
I have known about this tool for a while but I wanted to make sure that the rest of the Flash community was aware of it. Your really see the performance gains of AMF when you are dealing with large data sets. For instance, you can load and display 20,000 rows of data using AMF in half the time that it takes to do 5,000 rows with standard XML. Wow!

The 3-part series on PHP and the Flash Platform is awesome, although its not like how you have your videos online and displaying, the quality that blueparabola is very poor compared to yours maybe because Im opening all the m4v in itunes? It makes it a little difficult to see what your actually typing
awesome work though! Do I see a facebook connect application tutorial in the future!? That would be great!
Hey Lee,
I was wondering where I could find those seminars after Wade mentioned on his blog that you were doing them. I’m surprised that you didn’t mention the fact that you were doing them on The Flash Blog!
I’m excited about Zend AMF, but it is hard to find info about it. I have it working on my machine (WAMP) but I have a question for you or anyone that can help: If you set a property in a PHP class in one NetConnection.call() method call via Flash, and then you try to access (return) that property in another method call it always returns null to Flash. Does this mean that you can only have local variables in your PHP methods i.e. you cant store any info in properties for use in subseqent calls? Is this normal or is just the way that Zend AMF is intended?
Sorry if this is off-topic but I have posted this in 2 forums and Wades blog and noone has responded!
Thanks!
Hey,
The 3-part series is great! The tool also looks pretty sweet.
Cheers,

Great series!
Thank you
Alright, this note belongs to no particular category but I wanted to throw it out nonetheless. It is, in fact, related to the lag experienced in Flex upon resizing. As a Flash developer now migrating towards the Flex IDE, this was something of a pain. So, now that I’ve found the solution I wanted to throw it to everyone. The solution is extremely simple and it goes like this:
addEventListener(Event.RESIZE,resized);
internal function resized(e:Event=null):void {this.validateNow()}
Hey,
about this tool… each time render time etc is NEW so it changes totaly! =)
Cheers,

This 3 part series on PHP and Flash platform is really very learning experience. Nice to see the performance gains of AMF and Flex. Waiting eagerly for the next one
Thanks for the videos. Do you think you could post the code? The videos are poor quality and it’s hard to follow the code.
Cheers.
Hey Lee I do a lot of work with ColdFusion AMF but was wondering if there was anything that PHPAMF had that CFAMF didn’t?
