Bob-
Web Services / HTTP services are not built to be the
primary backend of your flex applications. Because they are XML based, they have
quite a bit more overhead than flex's built-in AMF (Action Message Format). AMF
is smaller, faster and uses less bandwidth than XML. AMF is what FDS and
ColdFusion 7.0.2 use to communicate to a Flex app.
So let's say that your question is narrowed down to "FDS or
CF?". Adobe's ideal answer is "yes." They are complimentary to each other, CF
allows for wonderful rapid development of Flex apps, and FDS brings some amazing
features to the table through it's Messaging an Data Management
services.
Web Services (SOAP) support is in Flex primarily to consume
third-party data, allowing you to add it to your app.
Hope this points you in the right
direction.
