Joao,
Your right there isn't much information, and we need more. We'll work on that.
 
However, to answer you question now. To get this working so you can call FDS destinations of CF via Flash Remoting you would do it this way.
 
1) Configure CF on 1 instance/server
2) Configure FDS on 2nd instance/server
3) Point your project at the services-config.xml in the FDS instance.
 
Ok at this point you can easily call FDS destinations which use CF (or not).  Now to also call Flash remoting.
 
4) Define the destination and channel with Actionscript, instead of letting the compiler do it when it is pointed at the CF version of the services-config.xml
 
To create you own ChannelSet the code would look something like this.
 
------
public var cSet:ChannelSet;
 
public function initApp()
{
    cSet = new ChannelSet();
    var customChannel:Channel = new AMFChannel("my-cfamf", http://localhost:8500/flex2gateway/);
    // Add the Channel to the ChannelSet.
    cSet.addChannel(customChannel);
    foo.channelSet = cSet;
}
 
<mx:RemoteObject
    id="foo"
    destination="ColdFusion"
    source="com.foo.component" />
-----------
 
Note: You can use this ChannelSet technique instead of the -services compiler flag too. And you can use it, if you want to use something like FlashVars to change the endpoint url.
 
 
hope that helps,

Damon,

but there isn't much information if you want to use RPC + FDS. All examples are RPC or FDS only, not the mix.

If you define your CF RPC destination inside FDS it won't work and there isn't any example, best-practice or a technote how to implement this correcly.

If you merge FDS+CF this works fine. If Adobe could publish any additional documentation how to achieve this (RPC+FDS), I think everyone would be grateful.

People seem to think they need to jam FDS into the CF instance to
get them to work together for some reason, likely because that's the
main config setup with CF + Flex 1.5, but that's not necessary at
all any longer with Flex 2 FDS.

With Flex 2 and FDS, you absolutely do not need FDS installed into
the CF app instance for things to work. We designed them to live
together on the same machine or seperately on different
machines/instances, but we didn't spend much time on the case where
people would try to get FDS inserted into the CF instance itself. I
suppose there are valid arguments for wanting to do this, but with
the RMI interface between the two now with Flex 2, and the existing
Flex 1.5 bits already living in the CF7 instance for CF7 Flash
Forms, etc (and the potential for conflict between Flex 1.5 and Flex
2 bits in package names, etc, etc), we thought it best to recommend
the use case where CF and Flex 2 FDS are not living in the same
webapp instance.

Hopefully that makes sense.

Damon
