Cura AND Creator Pro?
Hey everybody, I've had my Creator Pro for a few months now and absolutely love it but I've tooled around enough the Makerbot software. I've never used the RepG software and don't plan too but I was wondering how I set up Cura on it?

you don't.
All gcode for flashforge printers (not dreamer that's got a whole set of it's own issues) needs to be passed through gpx for processing.
And while there is - supposedly - a gpx plugin for cura, I don't know anyone who's managed to either find it or get it working once they have.
The only program I know of where gpx actually works is simplify 3d. And I occasionally get some weird results from that as well.
There are a number of tutorials for using gpx with slic3r - but most of us who follow them can't get it to work :-)

GPX was actually really super easy to setup with Slic3r when I tried.
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:81425 GPX
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkMNx0dD2vE - shows how to set everything up, just skip to the Slic3r part.
If i remember correctly, you just move the GPX file into the Slic3r main folder and then set it to run in the "output" options in slic3r settings.
-I'm not sure about Cura, never tried that one. Upgraded to S3D this Christmas

I could do that dunginhawk but I think I'm gonna go the route of getting Simplify3d.
