I was developing a coldfusion/flex app today and i ran accross the most weirdest bug. The following code is pseudo code :

say if you have a remote object

<mx: remoteobjec id=something destination=ColdFusion >
<mx : method name=test result=result(event)>
<mx : arguments>
<arg1>inputtext.text</arg1>
<arg2>inputArrayCollection</arg2>
<arguments>
<method>
<remoteobjec>

This will work and send arg1 to the server but arg2 which is an array collection will be blank ,desptite the collection having over a 100 records

however if i send the same remote object like this , something.test(inputtext.text,inputArrayCollection)
it will work perfectly fine

werid ?

Lately what i have been noticing is that these captcha files have been becoming harder and harder to decode till the point that they make you feel your working for the NSA trying to decrypt something. Plus its also a pain in the ass for people like one of my friends who has partial color blindness. Looking at all these features i came up with an alternative to captcha that uses flash and javascript, all you have to do is draw the right shape and you'll be a human. The javscript is not the most secure code in the world but that can be fixed, the point here is to be able to see how a simple captcha alternative can be implemented instead of making those silly words look like a lost language.

If I get enough attention on this, i will implement an API and etc to get it to production standards

The Javascript code is there as a quick mock-up , Under no circumstances will that type of Javascript code be used in the release if there should be one.


PS I havent decided on a name so suggest one!
also it will make errors, and I will fix that if i get enough attention on this by people who want a captcha alternative.
