OK... lots to answer here... 1) You can verify your gateway by simply browsing to the URL you specified... if the page is blank, you're good to go... if you got an error, you're not.
2) You need to place your cfc files beneath your CF webroot folder... this is the default location for the gateway to look. 3) You need to confirm that you have a /flex folder under your ColdFusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/ directory... if not, then you need to look into how to get that setup... I can't remember off the top of my head, but there's plenty of information on setting up ColdFusion for Flex. 4) Once you get your /flex directory setup properly, there are a few files in there you'll need to configure... a) services-config.xml, b) remoting-config.xml. There is also information out there on setting these up. Essentially, you'll need to reference an EndPoint which is defined in these files. There is a default one setup called ColdFusion which has a channel setup for it already. You really should be able to utilize the ColdFusion endpoint automatically as soon as you have things setup, and your CFC located within the webroot folder. I can provide some examples for each of these areas if you still need help, but don't have access to them on the current machine I'm writing this from. Let me know, and good luck!
