Based upon your channel id, 'cf-rtmp', you're using an RTMP channel/endpoint. If the client's connect attempt is failing, this is generally because the endpoint isn't running so there's nothing for the client to connect to. Make sure you have logging enabled in your services-config.xml file on the server, and check your logs for any startup exceptions. LCDS is bootstrapped by a servlet (the MessageBrokerServlet) and if this fails at startup, your app server and other servlets will be running fine, but LCDS won't be available. Another common issue is people running multiple LCDS apps at the same time, each with RTMP endpoints. Each RTMP endpoint spins up its own internal socket server which requires a dedicated port. If you're running separate web apps in the same server, make sure all of the RTMP endpoints that will be running on your server are configured to use different ports so they don't run into port binding conflicts at startup.
A less likely cause would be the server-side RTMP endpoint is configured to bind to a different port than the client-side channel is attempting to connect to. This is generally due to compiling a swf, changing your server config and bouncing the server, and not recompiling the swf to pick up the config changes.

All the tutorials I see are for Flex 2 and CF7 using FDS. However, I am using Coldfusion 8 with embedded LCDS. When I try to run my simple chat app I get this output in the console using tracetarget. ========================================= 'chatSubscriber' consumer subscribe. 'cf-rtmp' channel endpoint set to rtmp://localhost:8500 'cf-rtmp' channel settings are: <channel id="cf-rtmp" type="mx.messaging.channels.RTMPChannel"> <endpoint uri="rtmp://{server.name}:{server.port}"/> <properties/> </channel> [SWF] /Flex/chat/bin-debug/ChatAppFinished.swf - 743,790 bytes after decompression 'cf-rtmp' channel got connect attempt status. (Object)#0 code = "NetConnection.Connect.Failed" level = "error" ============================================= I've fully edited the xmls as needed I think. I've added the destinations etc. Is there anyone who's experienced enough to know why there's a NetConnection.Connect.Failed message? I have a fully remote server with this and you can login to take a look.
