I understand the idea of having one cfc hold all your functions, which is
great. I didn't catch the fact you were using Flash Remoting - and hence trying
to call the cfc.function directly from flash instead of calling a cfm. Try
making a simple little cfm page that invokes your cfc and the xmltree method.
Then modify your Flash tree to load that cfm. I know that's not what you want,
but stay with me :)
The cf code would be (assuming the component is located in your webroot
directory):
<cfoutput>
<cfinvoke
component="flashremoting"
method="xmltree"
returnVariable="xmltest"
/>
#xmltest#
</cfoutput>
To call the cfc directly you have to use a special Flash Remoting call to
invoke the method in the cfc. Using the Flash action testXML.load("file") does
just a regular http request (like your browser does) so that's why you'd need
to use a cfm file to invoke your cfc. For the remoting approach you'll need
totally different set of actionscript. For one, you'll need to include the
netservices stuff:
#include "NetServices.as"
#Include "NetDebug.as"
Then you'll define a connection (var xyz =
NetServices.createGatewayConnection();), the component (var myCFC =
xyz.getService("flashremoting", someFunction());), and then invoke the method
(testXML= myCFC.xmltree();). This is where my expertise drops off because I
haven't done enough Flash-CF interaction to get into remoting. Check out this
article for the basics of remoting (including more detail on the actionscript
needed):

Good luck!
