Sorry for the off-topic I have been playing with flex, and one thing that is missing from my brain is how I can connect it to a database. I presume most of the data connection stuff is done via XML and JSP? is this correct? We cant use our CFC's? Are there any examples out there? I have been

You can access data from Flex via calls to ColdFusion CFCs as either HTTPService calls, WebService(SOAP) calls, or RemoteObject calls. RemoteObject calls are the fastest and most efficient. Brandon Purcell and Tom Link have written blog entries on this, as has RichInternet.blog. Macromedia
