Thanks Benoit I'll check that out! I guess I should add that the "disconnected" app does not have to run off CFMX (not even sure if I can compile the CF code and run it offline??). So I'm open to any approach that would allow a Flash MX app to store data (in any format...doesn't have to be a DB...could be XML..flat file..whatever). The smarts to connect to the app and grab it's data can all be built on the server holding the central (connected) DB.
