[osflash] cakeamfphp / arp

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

This is turning out to be a very interesting post Martin. I also use CakePHP
(alongside with CakeAMFPHP and AMFPHP) and ARP for my RIA´s, and until now I
haven´t managed to implement Transfer Objects and it makes remote methods
hard to debug. I would be very happy to see your work in progress and maybe
help you and even start a CakeForge project for that.

Cheeers,

Marcelo.
