"so that when I receive a ResultEvent I know which component to route the returned data to. Is there a better way..."
A more generic solution is to use an AsyncToken. There are plenty of docs, explanations of this, in the archives here, and in the docs themselves. Search for "AsyncToken" and "ACT pattern", and even "closure".

You commented though that this technique is not a good idea. What happens in the code is that the component dispatches an event to the main application which then makes an asynchronous RemoteObject call to a function on ColdFusion. ColdFusion processes the data sent by the component and then returns some data. I was passing the id of the component to ColdFusion (which then passes it back with the result data) so that when I receive a ResultEvent I know which component to route the returned data to. Is there a better way to architect this?
