hmm - is this the same setting as in the Flex 1.5 gateway-config.xml (whichis set to false by default)? The way I understand this setting (for the Flex gateway) is that setting lowercase-keys to true forces all keys passed over the wire to lower case, i.e. a key mixedCaseIdentifier would be transferred as mixedcaseindentifier which is OK for ActionScript 1.0 (as it's not case sensitive) and CF but not for Java or AS 2.0 - but setting this to true on the CF gateway would still force all keys to lower case which would probably break your AS 2.0 codeas it is case sensitive, or am I wrong? Another thing; Is CF now really caring about case when calling a CFC via RemoteObject and the CFC returns an instance of a CFC? I used to return structs from CFCs and decorated them with the _remoteClass identifier - any newson this field? > 1.

Currently, FlashPaper is great as a standalone documentformat but it does not play very well when loaded into another SWF app. > 2.

I hope they will fix this in Flex 2.0 that's bad news :( Anyway, thanks for the information! Cheers, Dirk.
