Rims Visualizer Application Using Flash and Coldfusion

I have been very busy the past few months due my recent relocation back to Florida and working in a very cool project.

Last weekend I just released a cool interactive tool for one of my clients. This tool would allow customers upload pictures of theirs on vehicle and visualize new rims on it. From there they can save and share on Facebook or Twitter, and click the "buy now" button to see more specific details about the wheel and finalize the checkout process.

This project took us 6 months from planning, project, hire the resources and put everything together. We used Adobe ColdFusion 8, Flash 10 and Microsoft SQL Server 2010. The Flash app "talks" to the database using ColdFusion components. The database driven application features the drop down box for the vehicle selection, then it applies a formula to only bring the rims that fits the selected vehicle year, make and model.

We are now planning the next version of the visualizer that will have many improvements but for sure will keep the CF/SQL Server as back end. Perhaps a Jquery version? :D

Take a look at the Rims Visualizer application. There are already many cool vehicles uploaded like this 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Comments and feedback are very welcome.

Difficulties Downloading from Adobe / Problemas Baixando da Adobe

Today, I had problems while trying to download Flex SDK and Flex Builder from Adobe website. I went to the Flex product page clicked on "Try for 30 days" link, made the log in and was redirected to the download page with a bunch of options to download Flex. Once I seleced the option and hit the submit button nothing happened. No eror message, no JS error, no nothing! Then I went to the link "Difficulties downloading?". Verified the temporary internet files, read all the information Adobe gave and no luck. I remote accessed another computer to try the download and the same problem I had.

I googled all the terms I could and found nothing.

I decided to update my profile on Adobe's site and then the magic occurred and the download worked.

I remember when on Macromedia website I tried to download something they I always asked for my professional profile information and some information I previously informed was always missing.

I believe that Adobe should investigate this problem further that obivously is hurting the number of downloads and the problem is on Adobe's side.

Hoje, tive problemas para baixar o Flex SDK e o Flex Builder do site da Adobe. Clicava no link para download, fazia o download, escolhia a versão que queria baixar e nada acontecia. Nenhuma mensagem de erro, nada. Visitei o link "Difficulties downloading?". Verifiquei os arquivos temporários de internet, todos as informações disponibilizadas pela Adobe e o problema persistia. Acessei remotamente outros computadores para tentar baixar o arquivo e o mesmo problema ocorria.

Pesquisei no google por todos os termos e nada encontrei.

Resolvi então atualizar o meu perfil/cadastro no site da Adobe e entao a mágica aconteceu e o download funcionou.

Lembro quando no site da Macromedia ia fazer um download sempre perguntavam sobre os meus dados cadastrais e alguns que eu já havia informado antes desapareciam.

Acredito, que a Adobe deveria investigar esse problema que obviamente eh de responsabilidade dela e deve estar atrapalhando o download de seus programas.
