Mark's correct, for Flash Remoting to work CFCs must appear to exist below the web root to the server, either physically or virtually.
Mark is also right on the money (hmm, second time today I've used that) that you could use a forward facing CFC to handle the different calls.
Sean Corfield wrote an article for DevNet that discusses that:

He'll be here in Sydney next month at MXDU, might be an interesting topic to corner him on...

Antony -
You would probably need to double check this - but I'm (kinda?) certain that you can't access components that are stored off the web root.
That being said - it's fairly common practice to have a CFC that handles all your Flash Remoting calls, for greater seperation between layers.
This CFC will grab the relevent data from the CFCs that is required and pass it off to the Remoting request.
On a total theory bent (ya would have to test this out) have a RemotingCFCManager.cfc that's sole job is to return back instances of CFCs that are stored off the web root to the remoting request.
Not sure how that would turn out tho. Been a bit since i've played with remoting.

Quoting Antony Sideropoulos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hello
<preamble>
I have developed a CFC that I am storing outside the webroot:
d:\website\webroot d:\website\customtags <-- CFCs live here
In CFMX Administrator I have set up a custom tag path pointing to this directory and using CFM templates I can successfully call functions within CFCs that are stored in this directory.
</preamble>
<question>
When I try to call the same functions in the same CFCs via Flash Remoting, I get the following error: No service named flaggedfiles is known to Flash Remoting MX.
Can Flash Remoting see/use CFCs outside the webroot in the same manner as CFM templates can? If not, does anyone have any bright ideas for me? (I am using CFMX6.1, Flash Remoting MX and IIS6)
</question>
Many thanks
Antony
