Maybe something could be done with a small, invisible, general-purpose Flash file that uses loadVariables. CF could generate the client-side JavaScript that communicated with the Flash file. The JavaScript could then pass/request variables efficiently through the Flash interface. This would be a little kludgey to construct initially but you could make a CF custom tag. Later the implementation could be formalized into a built-in CF function and the corresponding built-in Flash function. Harpoon would be a good candidate for the initial implementation.
