you must have <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="no"> OR must surround all contents by a cfoutput If using cfsavecontent to extend flash based cfforms, or any other usage of this tag where the actual text of the contents is needed (not neccesarily running cfcode within it).

again, seems redundant to some, but this problem bugged me for a few hours not realizing why my actionscript wasnt executing.

Here's an example of displaying the currently running query on screen:

<cfquery name="test" datasource="testDB">
<cfsavecontent variable="myQuery">
SELECT userID, first, last, status
FROM tableA
WHERE status = 'Active'
<cfif isdefined("url.alpha")>
AND LEFT(last, 1) = '#url.alpha#'
</cfif>
</cfsavecontent>
#preservesinglequotes(myQuery)#
</cfquery>

<cfoutput>#preservesinglequotes(myQuery)#</cfoutput>
<!---------------------------------end code--------------------------------------->

This is most useful when using conditionals to filter data in your query and not knowing which filter is currently active.

Cheers!

NOTE: cfsavecontent does not support bracket notation.

So whilst you can do:
<cfsavecontent variable="Request.TestVar">
or <cfsavecontent variable="Request.#VarName#">

You CANNOT do:
<cfsavecontent variable="Request['TestVar']">
or <cfsavecontent variable="Request[VarName]">
