Re: [flexcoders] configuring for a headless server

are you deploying  with the flex-config.xml with it? If you're not deploying
(running) you have to set up.
because the flex-config.xml will need it.

 This is what the
 documentation says should be done to set things up:

 ---

 define the value of the headless-server tag in the flex-config.xml file.
 Setting this
 property to true is required to support fonts and SVG images in a
 nongraphical
 environment. The headless-server tag is a child tag of compiler. The
 following
 example sets headless-server to true:

 headless-servertrue/headless-server

 Seems straight forward enough, but when I deploy to the server using a war
 file, I am not
 providing the flex-config.xml file. Do I need to get my sys admin to update
 this on the
 server manually?

 What I am doing is launching flex from the server as a thread to run in the
 background
 and save snapshots of charts drawn in flex every time new data is sent from
 the server to
 the flex app running in the browser. So in this instance of flex, no user
 is involved. The
 server is a headless rack mounted computer.
