The following files and folders are included in your download and are described
below:

Slides
-----------------------------------
There's a PDF in this folder with all the slides from my presentation. As usual
for me, the slides are pretty minimal in terms of their content as I elaborate
much more when giving presentations.

AIRMessaging_AppBuildingWalkThrough.pdf
-----------------------------------
This PDF has all the steps we will be executing when building our application.
I'm going to be going through the steps fast, so if you get behind you can refer
to this PDF.

The rest of this doc describes the included folders in your download and their
contents.

BlazeDS Config Text
-----------------------------------
There are two files in this folder that contain text we will copy and paste
into BlazeDS configuration files. The messaging-config.txt file contains text we
will use in the messaging-config.xml file and the services-config.txt file
contains text we will use in the services-config.xml file. Makes sense no?
Keep these two text files handy so you can refer to them during the presentation.

CFEclipse Snippets
-----------------------------------
This folder contains numbered snippets we will use to quickly build the HTML,
JavaScript, and ColdFusion CFC code. Using snippets will keep errors to a
minimum and allow us to move faster in order to cover all the content.

Flex Builder Project
-----------------------------------
This directory contains a zip file of my completed Flex Builder project. In
order to get this project into Flex Builder, you need to import the zip into
Flex Builder. To do this start Flex Builder and then select File -> Import. In
the window that pops up expand the "Flex Builder" folder and choose "Flex
Project." Next, choose the "Archive file" radio button and then select the
zip file named AIRMessaging_FlexBuilderProject.zip. Press Finish and you should
now have a new Flex Builder project named "AIRMessaging."

Flex snippets
-----------------------------------
Unfortunately, snippets created with the Snip Tree View in CFEclipse cannot be
inserted into MXML documents in Flex Builder. This may not be an issue if you
don't integrate CFEclipse and Flex Builder into the same Eclipse environment,
but it is otherwise. To combat this issue I created plain text files with the
snippets for the Flex/ActionScript portion of the application. These snippets
continue the numbering scheme used in the CFEclipse to make it easier for you
to progress through the snippets while we build the application.

wwwroot
-----------------------------------
We will be building an application from the ground up in CFEclipse and Flex
Builder 3. While most of the code for the apps will come from the above snippets,
there are a few supporting resources you will need to copy into your Flex
Builder project during the presentation. Keep these files handy so you can refer
to them at the right time. They include:

/AIRMessaging/images/what.jpg (the images folder and what.jpg need to be copied to
the "src" folder in the Flex Builder project)

/com/json.cfc (the com folder - including the jscon.cfc component - need to be
copied to your web root)

/scripts/jquery-1.2.6.js (the scripts folder and this jquery JavaScript library need
to be copied to your web root)
