Laurence,
Thanks a lot for the prompt reply, suggestions and wishes.
1. In my Flex source code, I have in various files
<mx:RemoteObject id="myServices"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="famous.connectors.mycfcfile"
showBusyCursor="true"
fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString, 'Error')">
Do I need to change the destination to SecureColdFusion in above code or if I
make the changes I mentioned in remoting-config.xml it will be sufficient?
Sorry, if my question is naive.
2. Yes, I understand users have to use https://myprogram.com rather than doing
http://myprogram.com which I am doing on my development box. Is that what you
meant?
4. How do I create a secure server-cert so that I can use it on the development
machine? I looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms751408.aspx and
but don't have Visual Studio installed so don't have the makecert.exe. I am
using IIS 5.1 on a Win XP Professional OS.
5. My FlexBuilder presently in Project Properties has Flex Compiler, Root URL
as
http://127.0.0.1/myprogram. After the secure cert is installed, I have to
change
it to https://127.0.0.1/famous/ or would any other changes be required in the
Flex Builder, Project Properties?
Can you please advise?
Thanks a lot.

Subject: Re: [AFFUG Discuss] newbie question: creating a release build and
moving files to production
Your Flex source-code may need to be changed as well -- all your RemoteObjects
may need to have their Destination set to SecureColdFusion (or whatever
desination-name you give to your secure CF channel...) Unless you've set all
your destinations to the default channel, then your changes to the XML files
above should work, I would think... Of course, that changes the default
destination for EVERYTHING using CF on that server...
And, don't forget to load your program using the https:// protocol -- secure CF
channels don't work unless you've loaded the program with https:
Third: When you export a release-build, you specify a folder-name where you
want it to go. Just copy that entire folder to the production server --
it should contain any of the external files you're referencing in your
directory
structure.
Fourth -- you may want to think about securing your development server, if
you're going to be running your program in secure-mode on the production
server. It's kind of a pain, but it can be done with a server-cert that you
create yourself. Just add that cert to the trusted certs in the browser you're
using to test the program on the development server, and it should work just
fine -- at least, it does on my machine. Just make FlexBuilder look for your
program with an https: address, not the default http: address...
I'm sure others will have more tips for you -- this is just off the top of my
head what I can remember when I first did a release-build for my Flex project...
Good luck!
L.
