In my layouts, I can reduce this logic:

| <cfoutput> | |
| <!--- Display error message from the Flash ---> | |
| <cfif flashKeyExists("error")> | |
| <div class="error-message"> | |
| #flash("error")# | |
| </div> | |
| </cfif> | |
| <!--- Display success message from the Flash ---> | |
| <cfif flashKeyExists("success")> | |
| <div class="success-message"> | |
| #flash("success")# | |
| </div> | |
| </cfif> | |

This takes care of 80% of your potential usage of the Flash in CFWheels, and it reduces the logic to a single function call. Win!
