[Morgan Kelsey]

chris, jeff,


in cf6(mx) server, there is a new 'flash' scope

variables prefixed by 'flash.' should be available to the flash movie.
haven't played with it yet myself.....

> have the post page setup to send back an errors associative array
(structure in cf-speak) where each form field that was incorrect has a key
with the value being the particular error message generated server-side for
that form field.  if the errors array doesn't have any keys then the form
posted successfully.  if it does, loop over the array in flash (using a
for/in loop) displaying the error message with each field that was
invalid/incorrect/missing data.  now, the trick will be having the cf
template generate the error in a fashion that's readable by the flash file.
