You are right, this is the tricky part. However, there is an easy way around it.
 
Install CF and Flex separately (2 jvm instance, or 2 wars in the same instance). Then point you projects -services option to the flex2 services-config.xml. This will allow you to use the FDS and messaging stuff.
 
And to use ColdFusions Flash Remoting you will create and configure the Channel via actionscript instead of letting FlexBuilder do it automatically. I don't have the exact syntax, but you want to create a ChannelSet object, and set the mx:RemoteObject channelset property to be the channel set instance you created.
 
When you are creating the ChannelSet object, really the only important thing is the endpoint url to the CF FlashRemoting servlet "/flex2gateway/"

The only problem that I see running seperated instances of FDS & CFMX is the fact that FDS doesn't ship with the remoting for CF so when you define CF remoting destinations(the "ColdFusion" one) it throws an error, so to be able to use a mix of remoting + data management you'll have to keep 2 xml files, one for FDS and one for compilation. If there is another way, I didn't find any documentation about it.

I have it running CFMX7+ FDS and now without issues but more documentation about this would be nice.

One of the issues about the technote is the fact that FDS and CFMX7 both uses a MessageBrokerServlet definition. I kept the CF (the Flex one couldn't load those CF remoting Classes)

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: FDS on CFMX configuration problems

I tried the same thing (combining FDS with CFMX 7.0.2) using the
same technote and wasn't able to get it to work. I emailed an
insider at Adobe on the Coldfusion team I met at the CFObjective
conference and learned that they aren't very happy with that
technote and recommended that I run FDS and CFMX separately for now.

I haven't tried that yet, but apparently you did and it was
working, which is encouraging to me. I've spent three days trying to
get FDS working with a fresh installation of CFMX 7 Multiserver
(JRun4) option. The WEB-INF directory installs in the nested
directories within the JRun4 folder, but the new CF/Flex Wizard
expects the WEB-INF to be in the webroot.

I've been having issues with the services-config.xml file. I found a
copy of the file Ben Forta uses on the sys-con website which has
worked so far.

But if you manage to combine FDS and CFMX 7 and get them working,
please share what you did.

Thanks,

Jim Pickering
