Hey people,
I am having some problems getting the results I want. First off I am
sure
I am going the long way around. What I am doing is this, I am loading
variables into flash and displaying them in a textbox with dynamic text and
html enabled. Basically I am having coldfusion grab the data from the db and
format it (roughly, only some html 1.0 tags work). The thing is that I need
that text string to be contained in a single variable so that flash can grab
it and display it. So, I am using cfhttp to access the template and bring it
all back to flash in one variable. Like so...
This file.........
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
<CFHTTP URL="http://216.232.243.211/cflash/circuits/news/dspNewsView.cfm"
METHOD="get"
RESOLVEURL="Yes">
</CFHTTP>
<cfset news = #CFHTTP.FileContent#>
<cf_StripWhitespace>
<cfoutput>&news=#news#&status=1</cfoutput>
</cf_StripWhitespace>
-----------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
grabs this file...
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
<CFQUERY NAME="viewNewsItems" DATASOURCE="#request.myDSN#">
SELECT newsdate, newsheadline, newsbody
FROM news
order by newsdate DESC
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT QUERY= "viewNewsItems" group="newsDate">
<CFSET newsdate = #newsDate#>
<br>
<font color="##FFCC00"><b>#dateFormat(CreateODBCdate(newsDate), "mmmm d,
yyyy")#</b></font>
<br><br>
<CFOUTPUT>
<font color="##999999"><b>#newsHeadline#</b></font>
<br>
#ParagraphFormat("#newsBody#")#
<br><br>
</cfoutput>
</CFOUTPUT>
-----------------------------------------

and then Flash will display it all nice and pretty in the dynamic text box.
The first thing you'll notice is that this violates fusebox as I have the
query in the dsp file. I couldn't get it to work otherwise while using
<cfhttp>. What I would like to do is turf the <cfhttp> and just have the dsp
file somehow dropped into a container variable that I could dump into flash.
This would allow me to conform to fusebox standards as well as lose the
overhead that using <cfhttp> incurrs.
Any thoughts or viewpoints on how you would accomplish this? I need fresh
ideas, this one sucks :)
