I checked out the book of integration of CFMX with Flash MX, is Pretty good. But a lil bit to few examples. You cant really learn everything there is to within CF and Flash. Of course integration happens on the code and the component sections. The rest is just general features of Flash MX,

This is a great idea that doesn't necessarily have to take this precise form (future xhtml2 compatibility on 'older' browsers). My own experience notwithstanding (forced in but got away with it), the concept of a fallback for a Flash menu is critical if you're going to rely on it for primary
