Specify the CFC, including the path from the web root, in the MXML; for example:

<mx:RemotObject
    id="myCfc"
    destination="ColdFusion"
	source="myApplication.components.User"/>

The destination "ColdFusion" is preconfigured in the flex-enterprise-services.xml with the wildcard * as the source. To use the source attribute in MXML, you can use any destination by specifying the source="*" in flex-enterprise-services.xml. If you specify a source other that "*" in flex-enterprise-services.xml, that source definition overrides the source specified in the MXML.

1. Edit the WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml file by adding an entry for each CFC that you connect to, for example:

   <destination id="CustomID">
       <channels>
           <channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
       </channels>
       <properties>
           <source>dot_ path_to_CFC</source>
           <lowercase-keys>true</lowercase-keys>
       </properties>
   </destination>
   

   
   

   The source attribute specifies the dot notation to the CFC from the web root (the classpath to the CFC).

2. Restart the ColdFusion server.

1. For each Flex Builder 2 project, set the Flex compiler property by doing the following:
   1. Select Project > Properties.
   2. Select the Flex complier option.
   3. Enter the following in the Additional Compiler Argument text box:

      --services=C:\CFusion\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml 
      
      

2. In the mxml file, you use the <mx:RemoteObject> tag to connect to your CFC named resource. With this connection you can call any remote method on the CFC.
3. Use the destination attribute of the <mx:RemoteObbject> tag to point to the name that you defined in the flex-enterprise-services.xml file; for example:

   <mx:RemoteObject 
       id="a_named_reference_to_use_in_mxml" 
       destination="CustomID" 
   	result="my_CFC_handler(event)"/> 
   

   
   
4. Call a CFC method, for example, as the following example shows:
   <mx:Button label="reload" click="my_CFC.getUsers()"/>
   
   

   In this example, when a user presses a button, the Click event calls the CFC method getUsers.

5. Specify a handler for the return result of the CFC method call for the <mx:RemoteObject> tag, as the following example shows.

   private function my_CFC_handler( event:ResultEvent )
   {
   // Show alert with the value that is returned from the CFC.
   mx.controls.Alert.show(ObjectUtil.toString(event.result));
   }
