I was very disappointed to hear the rumors yesterday that delicious bookmarks were to be no more. I don’t know what this really mean for Delicious and all of it’s users exactly. I would think that there’s still some money to be made from this site. Anyway, rather than wait to see the day when [...]

Plus two free scripts that you can modify or just use in your next project.
In my first article I introduced you to to Flash Remoting. In the second part of this three series article on Flash Remoting I’d like to introduce users to a few libraries out there right now that help a great deal when using Remoting.

In the first part of this three series article of Flash Remoting I’ll try an introduce beginners into the joys of Remoting with flash. I’ll first explain briefly what it is and what the benefits are over other traditional methods of data handling. I’ll then introduce you to the tools you’ll need to get started. I’ll finally explain the ‘NetConnection’ class and how to successfully connect to a gateway and start sending data back and forth.
