Thanks sean,

 

Figured I would have to get CFMX to invoke it on Flash's behalf. (wishful thinking is all)

Flash Remoting is more like RMI - Remote Method Invocation - or RPC - Remote Procedure Call - in that you can only invoke methods, not access data members. That's because you don't really have a copy of the CFC in Flash - you have a proxy that contains references to methods.

Heyas

I am just wondering if its actually possible to use a "factory" style approach with Flash Remoting.

eg:

factory.cfc

<cfcomponent>

    this.navigation = createObject("component","path.to.navigtion.controllerCFC");

    this.blah = createObject("component","path.to.blah.controllerCFC");

</cfcomponent>

navigation.controller.cfc

<cfcomponent>

     <cffunction name="getTopNav" access="remote">

        <cfreturn true>

      </cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

Then In ActionScript (Client) I want to have:

gatewayPackage = gatewayConnection.getService('appname.factory', new Result());

gatewayPackage.navigation.getTopNav(); 

Flash MX doesn't return an error, but it doesn't return data either. Is this feasible? or do I have to use a callMethod("path","method","param1","param2") style approach instead?
