Hi,
I have been trying for a couple of days to figure out how to reference form
data in an actionscript I'm using to invoke a CFC.

I'm trying to pass on a value from a cfselect to a CFC through actionscript. I
don't know if it's the right to accomplish what I'm trying to do. It feels like
the solution is so obvious but it's eluding me =(

When running the code it's telling me that the variable suppose to be passed
to the CFC doesn't reach it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


The CFC
<cfcomponent output="false">
<cffunction name="getReports" access="remote" returntype="query"
output="false">

<cfset var p_PortalReport_Get_RS1 = ''>

<!--- SP fetching data --->
<cfstoredproc datasource="#Application.DSN#" procedure="p_PortalReport_Get">
<cfprocparam type="in" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="1">
<cfprocresult name="p_PortalReport_Get_RS1">
</cfstoredproc>

<cfquery name="ReportNameQry" dbtype="query">
select reportid, report
from p_PortalReport_Get_RS1
</cfquery>

<!--- Retuning the data --->
<cfreturn ReportNameQry>

</cffunction>

<cffunction name="getDescription" access="remote" output="false">

<!--- Required arguments from caller --->
<cfargument name="reportid" required="yes" type="numeric">

<cfset var p_PortalReport_Get_RS1 = ''>

<!--- SP fetching data --->
<cfstoredproc datasource="#Application.DSN#" procedure="p_PortalReport_Get">
<cfprocparam type="in" cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="1">
<cfprocresult name="p_PortalReport_Get_RS1">
</cfstoredproc>

<cfquery name="ReportDescription" dbtype="query">
select description
from p_PortalReport_Get_RS1
where reportid = #Arguments.reportid#
</cfquery>

<cfoutput>
<cfset descriptionString = "#ReportDescription.description#">
</cfoutput>

<!--- Retuning the data --->
<cfreturn descriptionString>

</cffunction>
</cfcomponent>

The cfm page
