I just checked RIAForge and noticed that cfcFlexplorer has cracked the top 10 projects (currently #10). That is probably the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! I've been hard at work since it released on some upgrades. I would normally blog about those over at my project blog, but I haven't blogged much over here lately, so I thought I'd post a quick update.

Recent local changes:

• Added search functionality to method grid.
• Added output to pdf/flashpaper.
• Modified tree generation to create and use external XML file rather than generate tree on the fly. (Thanks to Tariq Ahmed!)
• Working on intelligent complex object support (may not make next release).
• Massively cleaned up and organized files.

I'm considering a future addition that would support creating proxy components. Basically the feature would take an existing component and generate a skeleton proxy that would work with your existing component. I've just picked up on this technique (Hey, I'm still learning!) thanks to the great feedback in this post and I think it would be nice to have my app do some of the heavy lifting for the creation of the proxy component. I've never been real big on code generators, but much of the work of creating the proxy seems redundant. Post some feedback in the comments if you have an opinion on this one.

I also hope to work on adding some style to the application. The stock Flex style ain't bad, but I'd like to mess around a bit with some custom styles - if nothing else but just to learn more.

As I said last week I intend on writing a post or two about my experiences in building cfcFlexplorer. There are definitely some things I'd like to share with other ColdFusionites who may be new to Flex. I'm totally swamped at work and this weekend is the biggest game in recent Ohio State history so I may not get to those posts until next week.
