you should take a look at Flash MX's SharedObject". It's similar to an HTTP cookie, but can store up to an unlimited amount of data and it serializes/deserializes complex data, which means you can directly write a recordset object to it without having to do anything other than my_sharedobjectreference.data.myquerydata_rs = myquerydata_rs in your actionscript code in order to persist it (call the SO flush() method to explicitly write data to a user's hard drive).

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. Thanks Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
