Advanced RIA with Flex and ActionScript

"I don't think there is a problem that's gonna take u more than 2 days. Except the cases where u have to learn a new programming language, when u will solve it in 3:)"--Cristina, my muse, my wife and everything in my life.

Okay, guys, it is time to let you know about some more stuff you can do with your Flex/ActionScript 3 application.

This time i will cover here two things:

• Authentication Services with ASP.NET and Flex, and
• Modularity of your Flex Application.

These weekends I've published article on http://netpass.mywdk.com about creating authentication form in Flex and handling authorization for your users via NetPass (Membership and Role Provider for ASP.NET). If you still using NetPass from WDK5 or WDK6, or just want to expand your current webware application with Flex/ActionScript UI, you definitely need to look into this article.

A bit later i will post sample project for Adobe Flex UI and AsWing UI both. Since NetPass web service can operate via SOAP and REST both, you can use NetPass services for any kind of applications, all you need is HTTP access to your web server where you have NetPass installed.

For developers who uses my wdk4RB (WDK for RealBasic CGI Framework) i will post hints on how to implement NetPass related functionality to access from wdk4RB powered Windows, Linux and MacOS web servers.

Second big thing i will share with you - Modules. There are tons of articles written about using modules in Flex Applications, but none of them covers what i've discovered this week. Something that solves a lot of issues when you architecting complex applications.

So stay tuned ;)
