Flex can be used standalone if you aren't using data at all.
You can connect Flex to data back-ends with xml, web-services, the additional
Flex Data Services component (a J2EE application) OR ColdFusion/Flash Remoting.
So there is much that can be done with Flex without ColdFusion. Alternativel
It is just an interface building language. Can you write a standalone
HTML app, or do you have to have CF for that to work? It's the same
idea.

CF isn't mentioned as a requirement for a very simple reason.
CF isn't required.

Only if you build it so that it wont be.
Typically, having a 'gateway' HTML page, or a Flash wrapper page with decent
META tags will sort you out.

What do you base that on? Should each product have a gateway page then?

Depends if you want your whole product catalogue indexed or not.
It's not like you need generate them by hand.

Yep that worked. Got it all installed, but it asked me if I wanted to install

If I'm remembering right, the new 7.02 updater has the flex extensions

Yeah I'm looking now and it was telling me to find coldfusion_flex_blahblah.zip
in the flex builder 2 folder, when you run thru help > software updates >
So it says this and I don't see it anywhere. And I don't see an extras
directory.
Select the ColdFusion_FlexBuilder_Feature.zip file, and then click Open.
The file is located in the Extras folder if you installed ColdFusion MX 7.0.2
using the default values.
