Positively glowing review of Macromedia's new MX system (which, if you're familiar with the Register, is more than a little unusual). But assuming it all works as advertised, MX could add more than a little twist to web browsing. From the review, "To round out the picture, Flash remoting lets Flash clients invoke Java.NET or Cold Fusion server objects using an optimized binary protocol, said Allaire. For compatibility with existing standards, the whole thing runs on top of Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)." This ought to make people writing complex learning content management systems break out in a cold sweat.
