AMF is an encoded RPC and extremely similar to the idea of web services. You can learn about AMF at the Red5 project site or the AMFPHP site...
If you ask your developer, he should be able to tell you why unless it's being called elsewhere that doesn't have anything to do with the CFC. Are you guys using authentication for your CFC? Is this happening with other CFC's? Has this been confirmed through the NetConnection Debugger (Flash tool)? At bare minimum you could ignore anything coming from the gateway within your onRequestEnd.cfm. Cheers, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: Andy Matthews [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 11:19 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Flash remoting and onRequestEnd.cfm My company has a stats page that runs when onRequestEnd.cfm gets called. We use it to collect stats about page visits and that sort of thing. It's only supposed to run on certain templates, but lately we've noticed some inconsistencies. It appears that onRequestEnd.cfm is getting called not only from CFM templates, but also from CFC templates as well. We can't quite figure it out (until now). Doing some testing, I determined that instantiating a CFC doesn't cause oRE.cfm to run, neither does calling a method. BUT, since we know that the CFC is only used in Flash remoting calls, I decided to try a different method of invocation, calling the CFC via a URL. Doing that causes the CFC to run oRE.cfm, but according to another developer, our Flash isn't using direct URL invocation, but instead uses Flash Remoting. I don't know the difference between URL invocation and Flash remoting personally, but can someone explain the difference? Also, can someone determine why oRE.cfm is getting run in our CFCs?
