HI John, First let me say that the CF extensions are not required to use Flex & CF together. Secondly, I am not a Mac user so all I can do is show you code on how to use Flex & Cf together. I will write a tutorial and send it to you later today.

Hi Clint, I was wondering if I can ask for help too. I am also a CF guy, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to integrate ColdFusion (with MySQL) and Flex together. I have read the the CF extension makes this easy in flex builder, which I hope then when I get it tomorrow this becomes true.I use the Mac,and I have tried in the past with help from this list to get ColdFusion & Flex to talk to each other, but was not able to. I found out in the past that the CF extensions are not included in the mac version of flex builder, but I hope that it is now. I have a relaxed school schedule this term, and I thought that I would try again. I was wondering if you could offer a flex newbie some thought on this.

You need to understand how Flex works. Its event based. Your code needs to respond to events that are triggered, ie button clicks, results being returned from the server, etc. I would be happy to help you get going as I use Flex/CF/SQL Server everyday.
