RE: FLASH: "Harpoon"

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

I have heard a bit about it as well and am quite excited. Though the press

releases have been very vague and I am not yet sure of exactly how it works.

But from  my understanding you will be able to use the look and feel of

flash with the functionality of cold fusion.


For all of you flash designers looking to learn a web language I suggest you

learn coldfusion. ColdFusion is a tag based language, and its extremely easy

to learn for HTML people. The language seems like an extension of HTML.


It seems macromedia has a great partnership going with Allaire, I think this

is because Fig Leaf is really into Coldfusion as well as other Allaire

products. Maybe some people from macromedia or Fig Leaf can elaborate on

some details of "Harpoon". I for one am would be  very interested in hearing

what they have to say.


Here is the press release:

Subject: FLASH: Anybody know heard anything about "Harpoon?"



Has anybody out there seen the Allaire/Macromedia Flash toolkit referred

to as "Harpoon?"  According to the press release on the Allaire Web

site, it was previewed at the Allaire Developers Conference at the

beginning of November.  A public beta is supposed to be availalbe in

December.  As I work quite a bit with both Cold Fusion and Flash, I am

curious regarding anybody's impressions of this product.

Thanks,

Stephen Pintauro
