Doug our current President did this exact presentation some time last year. I believe the examples are listed on the AFFUG website, or at least the used to be.
Guys are these resources still on the site?

I do appreciate those suggestions, thanks. And I do have plans to attempt to make the next meeting on April 29th. But I definitely need to make some serious progress before then... I'm not sure I have the time to learn CF first... I didn't know learning CF would be required when I started learning Flex. (They really should list that as a pre-requisite on the Flex website, if it's truly that necessary.) I really have no desire to learn CF at all... I guess I've got to buy some CF books. Anyone have any good suggestions? Secondly -- you say that I can do this strictly in CF, yes? So why use Flex at all? I'm not trying to be a smart-ass here -- it just seems a bit redundant to me, to have the same functionality in both environments... I want to accomplish this task with little or no CF, really. I know that CF is needed to act as a "gateway" between my Flex app and the SQL database, fine -- but isn't there a "generic" or "automatic" way to just get CF to handle the requests from the Flex app? Do I really have to write everything in CF first, then "port" it to Flex? It still seems so overly complicated to me... Thirdly -- I definitely work best by example. Can anyone point me to some code that will do what I am trying to do in the example I posted above? The simple Flex app I mentioned that reads from my SQL table and allows me to display and edit it, one record at a time?
