Flex: Custom Sort DataGrid Column

Recently, I had to sort a column of data based on a number wrapped in parethesis.  Fortunately, there was an extra column being passed back from ColdFusion query that made this task simple.  Using the sortCompareFunction, I was able to sort on a datagrid column using a different column from my query or array collection.  Hopefully this post will help someone out, because there seems to be a lack of information on subject.

Flex/Coldspring Error?

Over this past week, I started using Coldspring in an application that I have been building at work; I love the fact that I don't have to call create object in every function, and it should save me mountains of time once I become used to writing the coldspring config files.  However,  I ran into a small problem yesterday that I haven't been able to figure out.

Updating Datasource with ColdFusion Bean

John Gagliardi(cftips.net) and I have been working on a new flex application that will be used as a project tracker for work related purposes.  John is  building the Flex or UI side of the application, while I am building the database and ColdFusion backend.  We are trying to build the entire application using OOP design priciples; specifically MVC.  After building the database and basically getting a great start on the project, I am starting to realize how powerful OOP can actually be.  Today we created a task updater that is controlled by horizontal date slider, and I wanted to share some of my backend code which will hopefully show just how easy it is to update a simple CRUD app.
