I'm looking at replacing a cold fusion page that has a cfgrid with a flash page that has a DataGrid. It is taking the cfgrid about 10 seconds to load with all of the data and I want to speed that up through flash remoting and a CFC. The grid displays information on our 2500 employees.

I created a simple flash movie with a datagrid that populates itself with the output from the CFC. It takes the flash movie about 7 seconds to load.

The query only takes 140ms to execute. If I display the plain text in just a cold fusion page, it only takes about 500ms to load.

Now my question: Is there a faster way to use flash remoting other than going through a CFC? Also, is there a way to get the datagrid to populate in groups, like download and populate 100 records at a time until the 2500 item list is complete.

Thanks,

You can use the Flash.Pagesize in a CFC.

Or even better buy the excellent book Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide
