Cfselect, cfinvoke, cfgrid in flash forms

Question

In an MX7.02 cfform format="flash"
I would like a user to select an option in a cfselect. (e.g.
name)
The selected value would be passed to a cfinvokeargument
the cfc returns the query results to a cfgrid
get agent names....
<CFINVOKE COMPONENT="agentQA"
METHOD="getAgents"
RETURNVARIABLE="aData">
populate cfselect....
<cfselect label="Agent" visable="yes" name="agent"
query="aData" value="message_author" display="message_author">
</cfselect>
query messages posted by the selected agent...
<CFINVOKE COMPONENT="agentQA"
METHOD="getquery"
RETURNVARIABLE="qData">
<cfinvokeargument name="agent" value="??????????????">
</cfinvoke>
don't know how to bind the selected agent name to the
argument????????
output only the selected agent's messages to messagesgrid
<cfgrid format="flash" width="100%" height="100%"
name="messagegrid" query="qData" rowheaders="false">
</cfgrid>
Any suggestions? I'm open to a different approach since I'm
just learning flash forms in CF.
Thanks,
Don

Using the
selected="[your value]" argument.
This can be a value from a query.
For instance, try the example in
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000331.htm
but add
selected="4" to the cfselect tag
i.e.:
<cfselect
name = "employeeid"
size = "1"
multiple="yes"
required = "No"
query = "GetAllEmployees"
display ="name"
value ="emp_id"
queryPosition="Below" width="100" selected="4">
4 is the emp_id value of Aaron Smith.
In your application, you would replace
selected="4" with
selected="[your database value]"
