Yes, thanks Robert for the reminder. Here is a link to the latest version of said examples http://www.cubicleman.com/2008/11/20/cf_unconference-flex-talks-to-cf/
This is a large set of examples covering all three ways to hook Flex up to CF. You will need to know CF to get them running as well as some SQL skills, but can glean the approaches by reading the code. I'll be updating these examples for CF_United 2009. www.cfunited.com Even though I cover CF in these, I'll point out, Coldfusion is certainly not a required technology for Flex work. .NET, Python, JEE, Ruby, PHP, heck even ASP Classic can be used.
