We are happy to announce the availability of The Macromedia Flash Component Kit for ColdFusion. The kit, first announced in November 2000 under the code name 'Harpoon', is now available for download from the ColdFusion Developers Exchange.
The Macromedia Flash Component Kit for ColdFusion is a resource for ColdFusion developers to quickly and easily add Macromedia Flash elements to their Web applications. ColdFusion developers can immediately take advantage of the design and delivery benefits of Macromedia Flash and Macromedia Flash Player without learning a new authoring product. For more advanced developers, the Component Kit provides guidelines and documentation for creating and customizing new Macromedia Flash components for ColdFusion that can be shared with other developers.
The Component Kit includes 4 prebuilt Macromedia Flash sample components, guidelines detailing how to use and customize components and ColdFusion custom tags that control the behavior of those components.
The four Macromedia Flash sample components included with the kit are:
*Calendar
*Calculator
*Horizontal Menu
*Cascading Menu (for Microsoft Internet Explorer)
The Component Kit is available for free download from the Allaire Developers Exchange for the Windows and UNIX platforms. To access the components, type "Macromedia Flash" into the Developers Exchange Search window (http://devex.allaire.com/developer/gallery/index.cfm) or visit the following page to link directly to the kit:
