[cfaussie] Re: Flash Remoting and CFCs outside the webroot

[Antony Sideropoulos]

Thanks.   Somehow, I don't think "cornering Sean Corfield to discuss forward facing facades" is the business case that my boss is looking for to justify me making the trip.  Oh well, maybe next year.   --------------------------------------------------------------------- Antony Sideropoulos IT Solutions Developer Maddocks   t 9288 0662 f 9288 0666 m 0414 840 820 e [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 30/01/2004 2:59:02 pm >>> Antony Mark's correct, for Flash Remoting to work CFCs must appear to exist below the web root to the server, either physically or virtually. Mark is also right on the money (hmm, second time today I've used that) that you could use a forward facing CFC to handle the different calls. Sean Corfield wrote an article for DevNet that discusses that: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flashremoting/articles/facades.html He'll be here in Sydney next month at MXDU, might be an interesting topic to corner him on...
