Robert Taylor an OFG (Original Flash Gangster) and long term industry friend of mine wrote an interesting article on using the Zend Amf serialize to send back variables to Flash and Flex. I can honestly say that I would have NEVER though of using the serialize this way but it frankly is brilliant. What a super slick way to get typed data back into the Flash Player.

Piotr Walczyszyn and Adobe Platform evangelist just released ZendAmfD as an extension to Zend_Amf (it actually extends Zend_Amf_Server class). It allows developers to configure and execute on the server side database queries against model classes that extend Zend_Db_Table_Abstract. It is really exciting for me to see others contributing to the project. Please check it out and maybe this is something that we will add to the Zend Amf trunk?

The the 1.8 release of Zend Framework right around the corner I am trying hard to get any blocking issues resolved. If you are having any issues with Zend Amf please open up a bug or vote on any existing issues that are keeping you from adopting the framework. Also pull the latest version from SVN if you can to insure it has not been resolved in the last two weeks.

Thanks!
