Passing Parameters To CFC

[Natty2112]

I am testing how to return data from a CFC within Flash Forms. I have a simple
<cfselect> tag that will hold data returned from a CFC. This CFC returns all
records and works fine. I call the CFC with a simple tag (as follows):

<cfset getRegions = application.regionGateway.getRecords() />

This will work for my <cfselect> and show all the records returned. However,
the CFC does accept an argument that can help pair the data down.

How can I pass a parameter using the above code in order to get the results I
want to display?

Here is some pseudocode. It assumes the component is stored as
records.cfc in the current folder.

records.cfc
============
<cfcomponent>
<!--- the method accepts an argument, returns a query --->
<cffunction name="getRecords" returntype="query">
<cfargument name="myVar">
<cfquery name="myQuery">
</cfquery>
<cfreturn myQuery>
</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

Then, on the page containing the cfselect, you will do something like

<!--- create component object --->
<cfset recordsObj = createobject("component", "records")>
<!--- get the query from the component --->
<cfset myRecords = recordsObj.getRecords(someVar)>
<!--- use the query in the cfselect --->
<cfselect query="myRecords">
