Hi Michael,
Thanks for the reply.
Two points I did not understand.
1. Why did we need a <cfset var
accountCheck=""> on the CF side when there was a query named accountcheck as
<cfquery datasource="#Application.ds#" name="accountCheck">
SELECT email, fname, lname,
password
FROM
user_accounts
WHERE email = '#form_data.email#<cfif form_data.email does not
contain
'@domain.com'>@domain.com</cfif>'
</cfquery>
What was the reason for adding a variable accountCheck? Because in the if block
in the CF side we are testing <cfif accountCheck.recordcount> which was based
on the result of above query so is there any reason/purpose for setting
accountCheck to empty string?
2. On the CF side cfmail is failing in the try block as there is no mail server
so it was going to the catch block where no true/false was being returned so I
got the message "Unable to invoke CFC
recoverPassword as the return type is not boolean. I added a <cfreturn true
/> in the catch part and the error message disappeared.
Since in the recoverPassword on the Flex side, the eventObj.result is not being
modified in CFC
recoverPassword it has value false and so we go into the else part where I get
the message Alert.show(''The email address that you
supplied was not found in our records.", 'Email Not Found');
I saw nothing was present in SpoolMail to. My intent was to test if the cfmail
functionality works and if so the undelivered mails should be displayed using a
SpoolMail, but they are not. How do I know now if the cfmail worked properly or
not?
Can you please clarify?
Sorry, if my questions are naive, but I am pretty new to ColdFusion/Flex.
Thanks

Try this on the Flex-side (the modified CFC
function [see below] returns a Boolean):
public function
recoverPassword(eventObj:ResultEvent):void{
if (eventObj.result){
Alert.show(''Your credentials have been sent to the email address on
file.', 'Password Recovery Confirmation');
currentState =
'';
} else
{
Alert.show(''The email address that you
supplied was not found in our records.', 'Email Not Found');
}
}
On the CF-side:
