coldfusion flash integration: For some reason Flash forms are not working with my Coldfusion MX 7
environment. I am copying and pasting the code exactly as it is in the CF help
files. I load the page and it's just blank. If I view source it looks like it
created the mxml.cfswf file but I cannot see anything. If I right click on the
screen I get the flash menu but it say's movie not loaded. I don't know if
this is some kind of Flash plugin problem or a CF problem but I'm using just a
basic flash example copied from the CF docs and I have the Flash plugin
installed on my PC with IE and it works with other things. Any help would be
appreciated.:(

try pulling it from the library:

<cfform format="flash" action="page.cfm" scriptsrc="/CFIDE/scripts/"
skin="haloorange" width="500" height="500">

or, try another browser
or reinstall cf


:D

Thanks for the assistance but this is getting disappointing. Still doesn't
work. I tried a second PC which happens to be a Windows 2003 server. It did
not have any flash plugin at all installed so I installed the Flash/Shockwave
plugin that we have for our intranet. The server PC does the same thing, no
flash interface gets rendered but if you look at the source of the page
everything appears to have been generated correctly.

Am I supposed to be able to find the .mxml.cfswf somewhere on the server in a
temporary directory or something? This seems to be a problem with Flash but
I'm wondering if it's because the actual flash file is not being created on the
server for some reason. Am I able to find this file somewhere?

I don't really consider re-installing CF on our test and production server a
viable option. I wouldn't think this would have anything to do with it but
both servers were upgraded from CFMX 6.1. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank You,

are you sure the URL has access to the CFIDE directory (which has the scripts that generates the form)?

Yes, I'm sure that the person running the page has access to the \cfide\scripts
directory. As a matter of fact I can turn on debugging and all debugging
information appears which shows that access is OK for that directory. I can
actually enter the url into the browser to one of the javascript files and
access is granted to so this should be OK. Thanks for the feedback. Any other
ideas?:confused;

OK, found the solution to this and it's in post

the solution there and just decided to reference it rather than entering all
the data here again.
