I cannot believe we still have to wrestle with issues like this. CF is in version 8 now for crying out loud and Remoting has been around how many years? Yet in almost every project that requires me to use Flex/ Flash and CF I discover new issues or stupidly difficult tasks (ever tried to set up Remoting over SSL in Flex by following the docs?) such as this one described here.
Sorry about the rant but this is starting to get boring. Adobe needs to dedicate some efforts and get both technologies to play together much more smoothly without requiring rocket scientific skills for both Flex and CF. There, that's me done for tonight.
