Flash Remoting For The Olympics People
The Utah Sports Commission was part of the organization behind the Salt Lake City Olympics, which was a big deal to nineteen-year-old me. I was at AspenTreeMedia, and the Flash and design were already done. My job was everything behind it.
That meant Flash remoting in PHP. Flash movies could call server functions and get real objects back instead of parsing strings, but in PHP there wasn't a package you just installed, so I wired it up myself. All the dynamic content on the site came through it. I wrote the server side, the remoting layer, and the code that fed the movie its data.
I liked the split: someone else owned how it looked, and I owned whether it worked. After this I was the person who could make Flash talk to a database, and a lot of my next two years of work came from that.
