Indeed the 4 applications described in the FlashMX Integration book are pretty simple : - MP3 JukeBox, - expense reporting, - mail client, - chat (FlashCom based).
The CFMX/Flash Remoting side is very simple and the FlashMX is not that advanced (they don't use much of OO programming, mainly simple functions). So it is a nice book to start with, especially for CFers starting with FlashMX or Flashers starting with CFMX, BUT you definitely need to already have good notions of Flash and ActionScript. You can't start to learn Flash with this book. Do not expect either a book that explain how to build complex and high-end Rich Internet Applications. For that I was hoping to get more design patterns/best practices linked to CFCs and OO ActionScript programming/integration. I am sure it will arrive soon (at least, this is what I am currently working on... ;) ). This are only first impressions, I haven't dig into the latest applications very deeply... Still a good book, perfect for the appropriate audience.

BTW, the reviews I've heard so far on the Flash integration book from CFers is that it is too beginner to be useful.
