Er, doesn't ColdFusion act as middleware just like PHP does? Whether it
hides the HTTP communications layer in Flash is another matter. Flash
doesn't have any plug-ins mechanism I'm aware of (like shockwave does), so
you're kind of stuck with it as is. I don't think there's anything Ruslan
can do, nor do I think there would be much to be gained.
