Flex doesn't have any output formats or any of this functionality
built in. I'd say build your front end in Flex, but continue to use
CF for your file output. Simply send your data to a CFC that does the
conversion and then allow the user to download (or whatever) the
outputted file.

hi,
i am digging my heels into flex and as I am about to start a
project for a client of mine to build a 'reporting dashboard' i am
really considering using flex to do it (i am SO not impressed with
coldfusion anymore :) ) I am up for the challenge but I am
wondering how easy it is to create xls/doc/pdf documents in flex.
i'm sure the pdf integration is there, but if i want to allow users
to export data into excel and send it directly to their desktop
(like cfcontent does), would it be worth getting into? are there
any resources explaining how to do it?
thanks
