(Sorry about my first errant reply to the list) You've got the right idea on the CF side. What I've done recently is place your swf in a typical HTML page and have it (the swf) call the cfm page using a load xml function - the actionscript is roughly:
XML.prototype.ignoreWhite = true; dataXML = new XML(); dataURL = "./createxml.cfm"; dataXML.load(dataURL); dataXML.onLoad = ...some function to proceed to in the swf... Works like a charm and you can have a flash event recall the XML load method if you need to refresh the data without refreshing your HTML window. -Scott > Hi, > > I hope I'm not going over old ground here but I cant find an exact > answer on my query here. > > I'm creating an xml file dynamically from a query.
