RE: [flexcoders] Re: RemoteObject calls failing

Sorry, I mean use --context-root=/flex

This argument would go on the command line just as --services=[path to
flex-enterprise-services.xml] does if you're compiling using mxmlc
directly (which I prefer), or if you're using Flex Builder, in the
properties for your project the Flex Compiler section has an "Additional
compiler arguments" field.

To explain this a little more if you're not familiar with the Flex 2
SDK, there is a tool called mxmlc that compiles .mxml files to .swf
files. It has a configuration file called flex-config.xml. You can
override or supply additional settings on the command line as arguments
when launching mxmlc.exe. A Flex Builder project's setting panel hides
much of this from you to simplify the options required to compile most
applications.


Advanced Note: the reason the command line argument is "context-root"
(and not context.root) is because that's what the XML tag name would be
in flex-config.xml as the Flex SDK convention is to separate words with
a hyphen instead of a dot (as a dot has meaning for collapsing
parent-child XML node structures into command line arguments). So
actually the full setting would be
--compiler.context-root=/flex but you can use short-hand syntax to
specify unique flex-config.xml config XML nodes as command line
arguments for mxmlc.

Technically, FDS will allow you to use {context.root} or {context-root}
in a channel endpoint URL, but the {context.root} token is preferred in
the docs and examples as it is the FDS convention for tokens.

Finally, I use -- syntax instead of - syntax out of habit. To learn more
about mxmlc, try running these commands:

mxmlc -help syntax
mxmlc -help advanced

I tried replacing {context.root} with "flex" once more and it worked.
I think I didn't recompile properly the first time I made this
change.   Still curious, where would I pass a --context.root parameter?

thanks so much for the help.
