You would probably have to create two webskins--one to provide the flash object (and output something into flashvars for the xml data callback), and another to output the xml data (to which the callback would be made after the flash object loads).
This would be an example of the xml template:
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="yes">
<cfset request.bHideContextMenu = true />
<cfsavecontent variable="xml"><cfoutput><root>
<title><![CDATA[#stObj.Title#]]></title>
<body><![CDATA[#stObj.Body#]]></body>
</root>
</cfoutput>
</cfsavecontent>
<cfsetting showdebugoutput="false">
<cfcontent type="text/xml">
<cfoutput>#xml#</cfoutput>
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="no">

I'm only just getting started with Farcry. Would you by any chance be able
to include a sample of how the webskin might work that way? If I modify the
webskin to output just the XML, wouldn't I just get XML when I try to view
the page, rather than the desired flash content?
