This demo shows how Flex can be used with your CakePHP application.
Note that I'm using cakeamfphp 0.60 vendor. The same as the popular Bulletin Boards example. It uses AMF0 encoding and not AMF3. I haven't experimented enough with AMF3...though this example works with AMF3 to read the data. Posting data is where I ran into an issue that I immediately gave up on.

In this case, Flex becomes your "view" instead of OR in addition to your normal view pages within your cake application.

This may be handy if you want more control over compatibility, user preference over load times, etc. Another idea could be to put all administration actions in PHP/HTML and put all display actions in Flex separating the two like admin routing.

The MVC design pattern can still be followed using Flex the way I setup my Flex application was in the form of making separate Flex mxml components in a "views" folder.

Technically, a modified bake.php script could be writing these files generating them automatically like normal view pages within CakePHP...But I'm not going to go that far yet.
