Pure Actionscript remoting with Coldfusion Components. Can this happen?

Hello,

I am coding in pure Actionscript 3.0 (not Flex, not Flash Authoring Tool), and I use Coldfusion 9 for my server-side scripting. I am trying to directly access my CFC from the Flash runtime. I assume the best way to do this is to use the URLLoader and URLRequest classes on a CFC with access="remote". ?

(Is this the best way to do this? I've heard a little about Flash Remoting, but I've also heard that it's only for Flex developers.??)

I have attached my simple code that I thought would work, but my trace statement outputs the ENTIRE .cfc code rather than just what I'm trying to return. I'm clearly missing something.

Please help. I just want to get the value RETURNED by the CFC, not the CFC itself. :)

Thank you.

UPDATE:::

I realized that my URLRequest object needed to begin with "http://myhostname" rather than use a relative URL reference "../../" in order for the request to happen the right way.

However, I noticed that Coldfusion always returns in wddxpacket, which I suppose is merely XML that can be parsed by AS3 ?

Still need to know if I'm going about this the right way, or if there is a better way for AS3 to communicate with CFCs. :) ?
