>Christophe Coenraets has written a tutorial
Flexstore on Rails.
The tutorial takes Flexstore, a traditional shopping cart, and gets it going with Rails on the backend.
The example is interesting in how it shows Flash and Ajax working together. The main catalog is a Flash application on the right hand side, and on the left we have sliders and widgets using the Yahoo! UI library.
How does Rails fit in again? This shows Rails as a web service provider. The application uses XML builders (taken from Groovy XML Markup) to output product information in XML, which Flex then uses.
