Bonjour,
Je travaille depuis peu avec CAkePHP et je me trouve obligé d’intégrer des animations Flash ( Flash 8 ou CS4/5).. Ceci pour pouvoir manipuler la Base de Données à partir de ces animations. J’ai utilisé amfphp mais ça n’a pas marché
Vous pouvez m’aider à trouver une piste s’il vous plaît??
Merci à tous..

Do not try with cpamf is a f**’m waste of time, is full of bugs and a deficient cakephp system.

I created a plugin for cakePHP. The plugin integrates the lastest AMFPHP into the cakePHP framework. You can check my article here: http://carrotplant.com/en/blog/flex-remoting-with-cakephp-cpamf-plugin
And tutorials for using the plugin:

just to let people know who still come across this post… yeah, we have done a bit more work on this bridge at Iona, but most all of our PHP work these days goes through Drupal and relies on the services module… not as much Cake anymore. Not to say there’s anything worng with Cake, it’s just that we like the Drupal a bit more.

I’ve written a little “tutorial” which is more like some notes on how to get CakePHP working with Flex. There are a few important things to take note on. There is a big problem when using Flex’s DataGrid and data you pull from your cake app with AMFPHP. The arrays CakePHP likes to generate and use (which are very nice and organized by the way) are too complex for Flex’s DataGrid. My notes explain this and highlight how to populate a DataGrid in Flex from your cake app…basically you’ll end up with a default looking index cake view page, but in Flex. http://www.concepthue.com/how-to/cake_flex/

Dave,
Good to have you stop by… I feel you’re right about the services related architecture, rather than a sledgehammer approach by shoehorning flex into the views, etc.

Hope you are doing well out there. It looks like you must be busy judging by your site. If you ever make it back to Peoria, look me up, I’d like to catch up with you.

I’m doing some work with Steve Merrill these days. Funny how things work, isn’t it?

Chad, I just found your blog accidentally while trying to find others mixing cakephp and flex. I’ve done a number of custom content mangement tools in cakePHP in the last couple months, and I’m starting to migrate over to Flex. However, I’ve found that relaying on the Model classes to get all your data can lead to a lot of unnecessary overhead. In the long run, you might be better off just creating slim AMFPHP services that don’t rely on the cake classes.

Ciao,
we developed a huge RIA with CakePHP and AMFPHP, and they do work smoothly together… reliable and quick.
Not Flex still, but Flash 8. Check it out: http://www.onsitedirectglobal.com
