RE: [Flashcoders] flash and cfm
Just think of the Remoting Gateway as just the part of the ColdFusion Server software that allows remoting to happen on the server from a Flash file, that's all you really need to know. I mean you need to use the remoting components to connect to the gateway, but that's pretty simple and there are examples of doing so available from Macromedia.

[Flashcoders] flash and cfm
What is the best practice for grabbing variables from a database using cfm and the using these inside of a flash movie? I am not a cfm developer but I have one here at work that has been helping me with a project I am currently working on. We are running into a problem that flash cannot interpret a query large string... What we are ending up with when trying to bring the variables into flash is a long string in the embed tag with delimiters for an array. Something like... Characters.swf?character1&description1&episoes1&etc... All I can figure out is that there is a limit to the string length that flash is able to grab. Is this true? If so what's a work around? I hope all this makes sense! Thanks all! And I am looking forward to the in site! Thanks!
