J-AMFPHP ComponentExtension Specific Addon

AMFPHP is a way to provide Flash/Flex remoting services on an Apache/PHP platform instead of requiring your server to be a Cold Fusion server. J-AMFPHP add AMFPHP as a plugin for Joomla, exposing the Joomla API to AMFPHP services. This has the benefit of using all the Joommla core API for managing the database, connecting with other components and modules, etc, without rewriting everything a second time. This component is for developers only! It is intended to make it easier for developers to build front-end Flash modules and components driven by Joomla content. This is not meant for end-users or general site administrators who are not familiar with developing their own modules and plugins. Make sure to install the additional Discovery Service plugin if you intend to use the AMFPHP browser. Also, try out the Example Services plugin to see how easy it is to build your own services as Joomla plugins.

A little difficult to implement, but only because it lacks documentation. For me this extension was fundamental to integrate Flex Adobe and Joomla. Thanks a lot and I wait that they continue the excellent work.
It's a work in progress.

A tip:
To achive the service browser you need to go to folowing url:

joomlainstaltionfolder/amfphp/browser/

It's better you get familiar with amfphp first.
If you want do some sexy or desktop-like application using data stored in Joomla, it's a perfect tool. This code provide a gateway between Flash App and Joomla in ready-to-use ActionScript data. This component implies ipso facto an MVC architecture. This is a SOAP-WSDL-like feature for Joomla in the world of Adobe Flash.
I was browsing the extensions directory for finding some base code to do something similar with Openlaszlo in SOLO deployement, when i discovered this clever upload.
This work is for intermediate or expert Joomla's guys. It's not an Eyecatching widget.
Congratulations to developer !
