If people load the SWF directly, wouldn't that bypass any of the
security mechanisms you are implementing in your CF code?
"http://www.myserver.com/Myswf.swf"; will never load any CF code and
will therefore never validate the users login credentials. [right?]
It may not matter for your app, but if it does you'll want to have SWF
code that validates against your CF based security login. This code
could be "headless"; just pinging the server and seeing if the user is
logged in via some session variable.
As long as the SWF and CFM page are served from the same domain / CF
Server, a CFC called from the SWF should have no trouble accessing CF
session variables.

I do it all the time and yes, just password protect the CFM template
and the server will protect your SWF. If you are being SUPER secure,
you might want to code a login form for both or share sessions or
something like that but in general, this is fine.

*Subject:* [flexcoders] flex on a cfm page
I am sure that this is so basic a question that I am almost embaressed
to ask but here goes . .
I have a site I have built with Coldfusion. The site is password
protected and uses a cfm routine to grant access to the site.
I want to add a flex app on this site. I want this app to be password
protected like the other pages on the site but
I dont want to code a seperate log in for the flex app. Is it kosher
to wrap the flex app in a cfm wrapper instead of the default html
wrapper that the flex page lives on? How would you guys handle this
sort of scenario?
(Where the flex app is not the main app on a site)
