Bill, I'd think ColdFusion is an unnecessary tier between Flash and U2. Why not just use web service calls to a middle tier and broker those to Universe? That's what people do with MySQL and other databases. With that you can use whatever comms mechanism you wish, including UO.NET or UOJ. Since you're fond of Java and Hibernate, you can go from Flash to your Java tier for all business rules, then to Universe for the data - this is a nice MVC design pattern. ColdFusion isn't required here - and (IIRC) considering it can be quite expensive I'd guess most sites would want to avoid it where possible.
In your diagram did you mean this? : CF9 <wraps> Flash <connects-to> Universe Now _that_ I'd understand. I've blogged about Flash a few times but never got much response on the topic. I'm glad you're seeing some value in that popular technology.
