>- see footer for list info -< Bryn, You need to look at flash remoting - communicating with CFC from within your flash form using actionscript, rather than talking to javascript.
In terms of "limitations" of CFGRID, you probably need to look more at actionscripting within your flash form. A good source for actionscripting and cfform - www.asfusion.com Though, if you're having problems with cfform, perhaps you should really be looking at building a Flex2 solution to your problem rather than hacking around with cfform, which can be painful to say the least. In terms of communicating between cfmenu and a flash form.... well I think you're mixing your metaphors.... Over complicating things.... I'm not sure why you would want your site navigation to communicate with a form. If you're using the cfmenu to provide you a "tree" of data to go with the form then you're using the wrong tag. You should be using cftree which sits inside of cfform. Hope this helps.
