Hi Mike,
Are you wanting to take advantage of the Flex 4 -> CF tool set ? A
connection to your CF server and webroot is only necessary if this is
the case. We found the drag and drop connectors to be more trouble then
they were worth, and ended up implementing a dynamic channelset / end
point utility class, much like the configuration available through the
end point configuration xml files, but customised for our requirements.
I hope this helps a little, and doesn't bring even more confusion, let
us know more about what your trying to do.
Cheers
Gareth.

I've started learning about flex, and using Adobe FlashBuilder 4.
But I'm not too sure how to set up the locations in the project
properties. Sorry this is such a beginner question, but when it
comes to flex, that's what I am!
Here's my setup, and i'm not sure what to put where - the terminology
in Flash Builder 4 is a bit confusing for me about what it wants where
....
I have an Apache web server. The root of the web server is at the
default location: C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
I have ColdFusion 9.01 set up as a J2EE server, at the default
location: c:\jrun4
I have my web sites (multiple) set up on a different drive. The
place where I'm wanting to set up my flex project is at
E:\Sites\Mysites\FlexTutorialApp\wwwroot
The URL of the project is http://dev.flexapp which points
to E:\Sites\Mysites\FlexTutorialApp\wwwroot
The coldfusion WAR folder is the default setting
of C:\JRun4\servers\cfusion\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war.
I was hoping to put the source files outside the web site, so they
didnt confuse the issue when i came to deploy an application to the
production server later on. I was wanting to have the flex source
files at E:\Sites\Mysites\FlexTutorialApp\Resources\FlexSource
So here's my question(s):
[A] Flashbuilder wants me to tell it the SERVER location when i
establish the project properties. Does it mean the location of
coldfusion (c:\jrun4) or the location of my web site
(E:\Sites\Mysites\FlexTutorialApp\wwwroot), or maybe the root of the
Apache web server ( C:\Program Files\Apache Software
Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs ) which has nothing in it except the
apache default files? The Flashbuilder project properties dialog box
wants 'web root' and 'web root url' but its surrounded by a label
saying 'server location'. I guess they had in mind a server with
only one web site on it at the time they designed the box. Yes?
[B] When i click on 'validate configuration' it says 'Cannot access
the web server. The server may not be running, or the web root folder
or root URL may be invalid.' I know the server is running because the
url http://dev.flexapp shows the site root at index.cfm.
So I've missed something somewhere or not understood what Flash
Builder's looking for - can anyone help please?
