The Keys To Getting CFC ActionScript Auto-Conversions To Work

An important benefit of the new and improved Flash Remoting adapter (installed with the Flex updater for ColdFusion MX 7.01, and used in conjunction with Flex 2) is the automatic conversion of objects between ColdFusion and Flex - CFCs mapped to ActionScript classes, and vice-versa.
