your first getEstimate() shoudl do it, the second will only return to
Object in Flex. Now, that said, I believe you need setters/getters on
all vars in your CFC, this might be the case for sending from Flex to
CF, but not sure, its been a whole year since I messed with CF that
much :) Also note two things about CFCs and arrays. To return a
array of foo.cfc you use returntype="com.meridien.foo[]" to specify a
array of foo. Secondly, arrays in CFCs do not map to arraycollections
in Flex. you can see my post here
http://www.cubicleman.com/2007/02/13/coldfusion-and-flex-composite-cfcs-and-arrays/
on how to get around that if you really need a arraycollection in your
Flex UI.
HTH!
