Using results returned by the CF.http function
The server-side ActionScript function returns data as simple text. You write server-side functions that
CF.http
reference the properties available in the object returned by the
content of the retrieved file, HTTP status codes, the MIME type of the returned file, and so on. On the client side, you
create return functions to handle data returned by the
text data.
For more information, see "Using the CF.http
Global and request scope objects

these scope objects:
Scope name Type

About the CF.query function and data sources
You use the function to populate SWF movie elements with data retrieved from a ColdFusion data source.
CF.query
To use the function you do the following:
CF.query
Pull data into your SWF movie from a ColdFusion data source
1 Create a server-side ActionScript file that performs queries against a ColdFusion data source.
Write ActionScript code in your SWF movie that references your ActionScript file (.asr) on the ColdFusion server.
2
You create server-side ActionScript to execute the query and return the data in a record set to the client—your SWF
movie. You can use methods in the RecordSet ActionScript object on the client to manipulate data in the record set
and present data in your SWF movie.
Note: Client-side ActionScript files use the .as extension. Server-side ActionScript files use the .asr (ActionScript remote)
extension.
