It's reassuring that Alan had a similar error and got this working.
All I see is perhaps your CF code below is not actually outputting the XML
object that it is creating. I think you need to add this line at the end:
<cfoutput>#toString(xmlDoc)#</cfoutput>
I think the weird flash output is coming from the actionscript line:
textXML.text = this
I could be wrong, but I don't think "this" is a plain string object that can be
sent to a text field. You could try just echoing out a part of the xml object
like:
textXML.text = testXML.lastChild.nodename
As for making the dynamic XML bit a cfc, I think that would be fine, but as I
understand it (I'm still getting into using cfcs) you'd still need to have
Flash call a CFM page to invoke the cfc. At that point I'm not sure if creating
the separate cfc saves you anything unless you plan to reuse this method in
other things.
