You can use remoting with both version(s) standard/enterprise. Its integrating the two is the no no, in that if you wanted to use CFIMPORT to bringin the flex-bootstrap.jar (or whatever the jar file was) then it can be done only with Enterprise.
Why would you do this? Well if you're data is dynamic (daily) and you don't want the expense of writing a remoting call (webservice, remote object, xml etc) at run time, you can store your data inside your SWF before its handed back to the client via a typica CFOUTPUT iteration routine. Stuff like that it can pay off in terms of latency/speed. Either reason(s) is up to you but i wanted it because it would be "cool" thing to do and test. As for Tilbrooks comment, i tell you what peter, you walk into a meeting and pitch 8k for CFEnterprise + 15-29k for FLEX and sell them not only on that, but not to wait another 6-8 months for these new products to get enough bugfix traction and come back and tell me how the victory was easy. For a corporation / enterprise in many ways there is no real need for Enterprise unless you are running multiple applications / large amount of clients / need event gateways (ie the sports pack). When we bought our server, all we were running was an intranet for 350+ people - which is an overkill for Enterprise (especially since the intranet was off the shelf product made in CF5 Prof .....dont get me started). Point is, just because you own FLEX doesn't mean you need Enterprise and vice versa. FLEX is just a HTML replacement ;) We are in the process of upgrading since I have bigger plans for the future ehehhehe.
