If you are using the 7.0.1 update you won´t get so many problems cause you can create functions with cfformitem type="script", it will support onload functions and other things. I have created i hole CMS with them, and for my client the ability to edit his hole catalog without a page refresh overcome the delay for the first load. So imho if what you are going to do would take lots of pages refresh flash forms may be the way to go.
