Flash Remoting with Coldfusion
I have created a flash file that sends information to a coldfusion file (cfm).
The CFM talks with a Microsoft access database, retrieves new information based
off of the parameters that Flash has sent to it, then sends back to Flash new
information. It works locally but as soon as I post it to the server and try
to run it through IE, it no longer works. I cannot figure out why and have
spent all day trying to figure it out.
Here is some of the code I am using from Flash:
import mx.remoting.*;
if (inited == null) {
inited = true;
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost/flashservices/gateway";)
gateway_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
myService = gateway_conn.getService("sonographycme.cfm", this);
//Location of *.as files
}
I read somewhere that the line:
NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost/flashservices/gateway";)
Only needs to be used for authoring purposes. I am not sure if I should
comment this line out before I post it to the server. I have tried it both
ways and I have not really noticed a difference.
Locally, I am running a coldfusion built in webserver for authoring purposes
but on the server for publishing, it is running IIS6. Not sure if this is
causing an incompatibility issue either.
I am sure that the gateway is working locally AND on the remote production
server as I can retrieve the âblank pageâ in both places. If I put the
fully qualified URL to the remote production serverâs gateway, I can also get
data from the gateway⦠However, when I post it and serve the pages from the
same server, it will not pass data to the swf embedded in a CFM file.
As I have said before, I have been looking online for the solution all day and
I have come up with several other forums where other people have come into the
same problem but it never states how they have resolved it. Any help, as
always, is greatly appreciated!
