Yep, if you were a sophisticated CF and Flash developer(which I`m not) I guess you would be thinking the whole project in terms of the MVC controller approach and breaking both Flash and CF into a presentation layers first, developing that first, then your handlers say menu buttons/links/dynamic stuff in CF and Flash listening for input, then the controller layer how all this is handled in the background by Flash/CF...but I`m noexpert, I believe this MVC approach is an object oriented one first developed in c++ or java..I guess I need further info on this topic but I find it can get very abstract and hard to follow, good example is fusebox the way it separates out an application into different parts like the above

So if you have a web app in CF, it's important to be able to implement some form of listener, so that Flash (the main controller) can use the models and views of the MVC application. Although that listener doesn't have to be implemented in the CF application itself, only the Flash movie...?
