For an intranet project I'm working on, we're having difficulty getting the
ReadURL function in Authorware to read CFM files. Here are the details:
1) We have a CFM file that reads in a value from a database and outputs those
on screen (if you were to run those CFM files from a browser).
2) In Authorware, we set a variable like this; userString:=ReadURL("
http://homedev1/scorp/cafe/jump_page.cfm")
3) In a display icon, we are outputting the value of userString.
The puzzling thing we have is that some CFM files work and some don't, and we
can't figure out why. And some CFM files will not work, but if you just re-run
the piece, it
works just fine (it's not consistent). For instance, the HTML generated by our
cafeteria menu
(database-driven "menu.cfm"), displays as userString just fine. However,
jump_page.cfm in the same folder doesn't display. (we don't get an error
message, just no output). We've taken all of the CF tags out of jump_page.cfm
to test it, and it doesn't work. (but jump_page.html, which is the same thing
just renamed, does)
I've searched an authorware newsgroup on deja.com but not found any help there
and
tried Macromedia's discussion groups as well as Allaire's forums, with no luck
at this point.
Have any of you come across this problem or have any suggestions for
what could be the problem?
Here's the code of jump_page.cfm (after stripping out the cold fusion stuff):

Thanks!
