Returning true/false to flex, like you are doing, tells Flash that the authentication was successful and to do what ever you want to do next at the client. However, with the code you have youhaven't told CF the user is authenticated. So if you made some other call that requires roles based security in CF it would fail.
What you want to do is add a CFLOGIN tag to the method.
hth,
--nimer
something like this:
cffunction name="login" access="remote" returntype=" boolean"cfargument name="user" required="yes" /cfargument name="password" required="yes" /cfset var qRead=""cfquery name="qRead" datasource=" tiomkin" SELECT UserName, UserPassword FROM USERS WHERE UserName = cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_ SQL_VARCHAR" value="#arguments. user#" / AND UserPassword = cfqueryparam cfsqltype="CF_ SQL_VARCHAR" value="#arguments. password# " //cfquery
cflogin
cfloginuser name="#arguments.user#" password="#arguments.password#" roles="authenticatedUser"/
/cflogin cfif qRead.recordcount gt 0 cfreturn true cfelse cfreturn false /cfif/cffunction
