That is ColdFusion code, so what part is a ColdFusion application, not a Flex application. Flex and ColdFusion are interacting here, but be sure to remember what's running on the server is ColdFusion code and follows all the same rules as any ColdFusion application, even though Flex is involved on the client too. > So I guess I should create one, but I have no idea what to put in there, > or where to put the file... > I'd drop it into the same directly as your remoting CFC. More about how Application.cfc works and where it goes is also available in the Coldfusion Documentation. > I'm guessing these two things together would easily explain why session > variables aren't working for me - I just wonder why neither of them was > mentioned in Ben Forta's blog that I linked to before. > I'd consider that to be pre-requisite knowledge and not something to always cover. Please take this as constructive advice - it really sounds like you might be well served by taking a step back from the code and spend a little time reviewing the ColdFusion documentation around sessions and Application.cfc. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress -- p: 678.637.5072 im: cameroncf facebook <http://www.facebook.com/cameroncf> | twitter<http://twitter.com/cameronc> | google+ <https://profiles.google.com/u/0/117829379451708140985>
