Flex 2.0 with CFMX 7.0.2 - SUCCESS!!
1. On the local machine without CFMX 7.0.2, put the default services-config.xml file (from CFMX 7.0.2) into: C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex (create the folder, if you don't have it already).
2. When you create your flex app, specify the following by right-clicking on the application name (from within the Navigator in the top-left box) and choosing properties:
a. Flex Compiler tab -> Additional compiler arguments ->
3. Now, FTP up your cfc into the folderofyourapp folder.
4. In your flex app, reference your RemoteObject's source as folderofyourapp.cfcname (without the .cfc at the end)
5. When you Save and Run your app in flex, you'll need for FTP up the .html and .swf files into your folderofyourapp/projectname/bin/filename (.html and .swf) and then Run again to actually see them.
This requires NO editing of the services-config.xml file.
Notes:
1. By using Web Services (mx:WebService tag) you don't need to do anything at all with this. Just point to the wsdl file and you're all set. However, this uses bloated XML for moving the data.
2. You can try to set your endpoint in the mx:RemoteObject, but this will use regular old flash remoting (the old one prior to Flex 2) which is better than XML, but aparently not compacted binary.
3. Using the method I described above uses AMF the new flash binary compressed format, which should be much faster and allow for future integtraion of Flex Data Services.

Please comment on this entry, if you found this a useful way to run Flex 2 and Cold Fusion MX 7 together.
