That's a great question and hard to answer as it involves crystal ball gazing. The only thing I can go from at present is that I have not encountered high-end Flash sites running on ASP. I am also assuming that, as Macromedia owns both Flash and ColdFusion that there is a good chance that CF-Flash will be a tighter integration than for other platforms.
If I am looking at this from the wrong angle, I am always willing and eager to learn.
