No, I have not ported Flash Com to OS X.

I don't know whether the methodology would work -- I used the Linux 
version of CFMX as the base for the conversion, because the logistics 
(format and content) were similar to Mac OS X Unix.  The Flash Com 
server is available on windows only, so a port might be more difficult.

The other thing to consider is that the CFMX port, brought a free 
Developer version of CFMX to OS X, not a production Web Application 
server.  It may not make sense to have a Developer version of Flash Com 
-- I don't know what happens to the trial version when the trial period 
expires.

Finally, there are the legal considerations.  Macromedia, did not 
prevent me from porting a free Developer system to Mac OS X.  Why Not? 
I don't know their reasons, but I suspect they felt as I do, that the 
port opened up a platform for CF developers to use, and that these 
developers would drive sales of production CFMX servers (on some other 
platform).  I am not sure that the same rational applies to Flash Com 
Server.
