Adobe doesn't appear to have folks working the forums http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/index.cfm?forumid=60 but some useful info here and there. It is not like CF's forums...maybe because it is newer. What we really need is an Adobe Forum specific to ColdFusion powered Flex! I'm going to Max2007 in Chicago. I want to plant that seed with Ben Forta, Adam Lehman, etc. Also...last Tip for now. If you have SharePoint on the same server as CF...let me know. Sharepoint block access to the /flex2gateway/! Spent months trying to solve this one! This is ok for more FDS/messaging but may be old http://download.macromedia.com/pub/documentation/en/flex/2/using_cf_with_flex2.pdf Starting with Remoting on MX7.02 is much more intuitive. The server-side config stuff related to Flex Data Services/Data Management is a nightmare. Hopefully they improved it with LiveCycle stuff...but I'd stay aware from it if you're just getting started. The ColdFusion Extensions for Flex Builder 2/3 are OK...only if you grasp the DAO stuff. IMHO, the cfgenerated code is overcomplicated. Man, I just switched to CFeclipse ...much better than dreamweaver!.. and it is free. Huge benefit now is that I can do Flex and CF in the same eclipse interface. Nice. But I do miss the old Allaire CF Studio days! anyway, just a quick data dump. Hope any part of it helps you.
