now on to the o'reilly book...

my editor bruce epstein just wrote me to let me know that flash remoting:
the defintive guide has been announced. here's bruce's announcement:
--
I'm pleased to announce that "Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide" (FRDG),
written by Tom Muck and published by O'Reilly, has shipped. In the true
Definitive Guide style, this book covers everything there is to know about
Flash Remoting. It covers all the server-side models used with Flash
Remoting, such as ColdFusion, Server-Side ActionScript, Java, .NET, and PHP.
It also covers accessing web services from Flash. Plus there is an entire
section on advanced topics such as debugging and best practices.

The book is filled with code examples for all the server-side languages,
plus there is a full working application (an online script repository
example) implemented in ColdFusion. The book also includes a language
reference section in the style of ASDG2, which covers Flash
Remoting-specific ActionScript functions and properties.
