Using ColdFusion MX with Macromedia Flash MX

Macromedia Flash MX is designed to overcome the many limitations of HTML and solve the problem of providing efficient, interactive, user interfaces for Internet applications. ColdFusion MX is designed to provide a fast, efficient environment for developing and providing data-driven Internet applications.

By using ColdFusion MX and Flash MX together, you can easily create complete visually interactive applications for the Internet. ColdFusion MX provides a native Flash connectivity that ensures visual applications created with Flash MX can easily and securely interact with ColdFusion. Flash MX clients communicate efficiently with ColdFusion by using an Action Message Format protocol over HTTP. This protocol provides fast, lightweight, binary transfer of data between the Flash client and ColdFusion.

By using the following features of ColdFusion MX and Flash MX, you can create efficient data-driven Internet applications with visually interactive user interfaces:

Flash MX ActionScript commands Lets you connect to ColdFusion components (CFC) and ColdFusion pages.
Flash MX development application debugger Lets you trace your application logic as it executes between Flash and ColdFusion.
ColdFusion MX Server-Side ActionScript Lets Flash programmers familiar with ActionScript create ColdFusion services, such as SQL queries, for use by Flash clients.

For more information about using Server-Side ActionScript and developing Flash applications in ColdFusion, see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications. For more information about using Flash MX, go to Macromedia on the web (www.macromedia.com).

I wondered why it mentions "see Developing ColdFusion MX Applications" but is not a link and does not tell you where to find such?
