Tracy - it's always a single directory, no subfolders, so no hierarchy concerns, I'd think. I've done some studying. Am I on the right track by thinking I should use the cfdirectory tag, set to a list, turned into a query variable, and pass that back to Flex as some sort of object, which then becomes my CB dataProvider?
The actual folder WILL be based on a variable (i.e., it will be something like: (particular user)/model/galleries/THIS or THAT gallery folder (with .xml files in it - these .xml file titles are the content of the ComboBox) ...but that could, I hope, be given to CF on the fly by Flex, based on who is in the system (roles) and what folder he/she is hoping to work with and in fact everything except the actual gallery folder, I have already gotten into XML, and so has a readily-available variable to work with. Is cfdirectory the right way to start? Shawn
