I'm hoping to get some help from someone familiar with the AS3 StartupManager utility http://puremvc.org/pages/utils/AS3/Utility_AS3_StartupManager/asdoc/ -  It is awesome!  I'm just stuck on how to implement the defaultRetryPolicy?  What exactly is it looking for? I looked at the docs but they're above my head.  I appreciate any guidance on this.  Thank you so much.


--Also, on the same front - using this utility, where's the best place to put my final "INIT_SITE" notification call for when my startup items are all ready?  It seems strange to just figure out what the very last startup item should be.  Is there a way to piggyback on the startup utility to determine when everything is loaded?

Hi,

(Cliff, you are a genius)

It seems the recommended creation of VOs, and retrieving those VOs is by using a Stringed ID - is that correct?  The reason I ask is because I'm developing an RIA pulling some arrays from MySQL (via ZendAMF).  I have limited knowledge of the LAMP end of things, so it is hard for me to explain my concern to that team.  My concern is with regard to retrieving IDs as Strings from MySQL - afaik they want to use numbered auto-increment.  Does it break with best practice to use those numbered records when ID'ing my VOs?  Or if anyone knows about lamp stuff, how should I approach fetching records to where I get a String that is more reliable?  They mentioned something about "keys"?

Hope that makes sense.  I appreciate your consultation!

Hello kind people,

I'm building an app that will consume AMFPHP.  Unfortunately I have no experience doing so.  My PHP team are noobs on the AMFPHP front as well.  I'm ahead of their schedule so I'm looking for some guidance on creating data placeholders for my Flash app.  Whatever "AMF serialized binary" means, it sounds much more efficient than XML.  But I've had a heck of a time seeing what it looks like.  AFAIK I'll have methods in my outer model classes that will send/receive to/from the php api.  What I'm wondering is what that returned data looks like?  I'm imagining something like json?  But is it actually really the exact data types ready to go (ie: Strings & Arrays)?  Is there any structure delivering it that I need to parse down like how json or xml works?

Thank you much for taking the time.
