Is there a way to do this w/ web services? I haven't been able to get it to work. I posted a note a few weeks ago on this list, but got no feedback.
Wouldn't storing the component in the application scope be a "Application" facade, not a session facade?

Every flash remoting call makes a new instance of the called component, just like web services. So it's impossible to have any persistant data in the component Flash is actually calling.
Set up your business logic in a CFC that is NOT web accessible. Then in Application.cfm, make sure it's instantiated into the application scope, but never reinstantiate it.
Next, create a facade CFC that has the same methods as your business logic CFC, and every method simply calls the corresponding method of the business logic CFC, which is cached in the application scope, and returns the result.
That's where the facade is. Inside the facade, you can do any type of session management you want, Flash will send cookies with it's request as I understand it (I've never played with it). Or, if you prefer, you can do a custom setup, where your flash movie "logs in" to the server and gets a unique ID, which it then passes to all subsequent method calls for authentication.
Let me know if that all makes sense.
