if ur using flash mx 2004 pro its pretty easy just use the xml connector

as far as remoting goes i dont believe u need it, i think it comes with
the coldfusion server, i think just asp.net and such have to pay.

no u can write a cfc with your query and call the cfc in flash can set the
resluts as variables and pull them in flash

lots of tuts out there mm has a lot
