Getting bearings...
Jan 30th, 2006, 11:14am
 
Hi all,

I'm new to the language, and the last few hours have been joy.  It's so painfully easy, everything Flash so poorly struggles to achieve.  (or worse, what I've struggled to make it into for so many times).

I'm thinking the best way to give my processing apps more non multimedia type functionality is through some sort of web service type deal.  Does anyone have a general library for communicating over http?  The reason being is that I don't want to paste the db user/pw into the applet for example.

Other things, like jfreechart also really don't have to be part of the downloaded app, they could call a generate function, and then return the generated image to the main app.

Curious to see how everyone else structures their code.

I love it though, thanks to the developers many times over.

Thinking about it a second more, I realized what I'm wanting is something similar to the (sorry, I hate the buzzwords too) Ajax setup.  Message/Data neutral, communicate back and forth with easy strings and conversions.  I'm assuming there's an xml library somewhere...
