That will work just fine. Have a look at getURL, loadVaraibles, the
LoadVars class (more sophisticated than loadVariables), and even the
XML object for different ways to communicate with a ColdFusion server.
Of course, you also have the options of Flash Remoting and web
services, which is what I typically prefer. Have you looked into those
techniques?

You would use CFOUTPUT to return data to Flash in some instances. For
example, if you were to send data to a CFM page using getURL,
loadVaraibles, loadVars or the XML object, you would need to use
CFOUTPUT to send data back. If you're using web services or Flash
Remoting, you won't need CFOUTPUT at all.
> 3 - anything else?
The first thing you have to do is decide on a format for sharing data
between Flash and ColdFusion. Each of the techniques listed above
either assumes a format (query strings, XML, SOAP, AMF) or requires you
to implement one yourself. Once you know what format you want to use
to exchange data, you can pick the most appropriate mechanism.
Does that make sense? I hope I'm not actually confusing the issue.
