When it was announced a while back that Zend was going to include AMF (Action Message Format) functionality supported by Adobe, I was excited to hear that there would be an "official" way to use AMF with PHP, as I had used AMFPHP, an unsupported implementation, with mixed success. I experimented with Zend AMF a little when it was released, and there were two things that annoyed me about this implementation as compared with AMFPHP, but I revisited it this week and discovered remedies for both issues.

Sometimes when making custom classes a trace of an object just isn't enough information. For instance, if I had a custom person class, a trace would probably look something like [Object Person]. A quick and easy solution is to override the objects toString() method to provide a more detailed explanation. As with all good things though, use it in moderation. There is no need for each class to spill it's guts in a simple trace. Sometimes a movieclip should just be a movieclip.

The usual flash sites that we build contain tons of huge graphics, animations, dynamic motion, videos, timeline transitions as well as tons of code, utilizing huge open source libraries like papervision 3d, tweening engines and so on.
We want everyone to be able to use their preferred design/dev environment to ensure a fast way to produce innovative high quality work. That includes using the Flash IDE and still being able to use Flex/Flash Builder as a developer.
