Recently I posted some code which used CFMX internals to protect CFC's from
being called as a web service but still allowed them to be called from
Flash.  A bunch of people blogged it, so I guess others liked the idea.

A coworker came up with another idea which is much better.

You can put the CFC's in a folder secured by username/password.  You don't
ever need to supply the username/password for access from Flash since the
Flash request comes through the gateway, not directly to the CFC.

Still has the same caveat that someone can access your cfcs by using your
gateway, but this would provide the same security as checking for the Flash
scope and doesn't use an undocumented internals.

Thought some might be interested...
