Three new user interface controls in ColdFusion 9

In this article I will explore some of the user interface additions in ColdFusion 9, specifically the new file upload, maps, and media player controls. The multiple file upload control enables you to create an interactive file uploader in seconds. With the maps control, you can drop an interactive map on a template using the Google maps API. The new media player component enables you to point to a local or remote FLV file and play it through a nice user interface. These controls not only add some flare to applications, they also add real value.
