Take a look at some examples on DesDev on the topic of Flash Remoting. Basically you could do what I suggested...and then in your function (that gets executed whenever the value of the calendar changes) you can use flash remoting to send the value to CFMX.
You'll see an option for the calendar called ChangeHandler....just specify the name of the function you want to be executed within ur swf... After going thru a few of the tutorials you'll see its actually very straight forward.

That said, I'd have a button/icon that would pop-up the modal box, allow a person to choose a date and then "submit" that value back down to the CFMX form. So, I sort of understand where you're coming from, but I'm still not too clear on how to go about passing any value out of the calendar back to the CFMX. I've not had to do that before. Any advices?
