I don't think you'd want to either. The idea of a service oriented architecture is to abstract your service from your client. A web service should be a well encapsulated and stateless entity. This has nothing to do w/ http btw. I can binary serialize an object instance in C# and pass it around via http. The other problem is, your > controller is not managing anything for the client. Again, you *really* don't want to be mixing these two layers. A very bad idea. I am not > the flash developer on my team, so I can't really speak to > that.

You can have an abstraction of your business objects in addition to controler logic inside the client. ActionScript 2, even AS1 for that matter, is a much more functionally realized language for object programming than cfml. I'd like to echo Matt's statements as well as my post earlier that illustrated this in a practical manner: do not couple your server implementation to your consuming client code! ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
