I've been looking for some pre-written samples to work with but haven't 
found any.  I'm using CFMX on the back end and am working on a session 
system to work with my flex objects.

In summary this is how it will work.

1 - Flex App displays u/p form to user
2 - Flex sends u/p data via SSL to CF authentication service (webservice, 
etc)
3 - CF authenticates the user and inserts a row with metadata into a session 
table on the server with a GUID key.
4 - CF returns the GUID key (token) back to the Flex App.
5 - All subsequent calls to CF services will have the token as a parameter. 
(CF will pull this data from the data store with each request)

See any problems with this?
