coldfusion flash integration: I am using flash remoting on a cfform to pull in data from a test datasource
(on a different domain) and it works just fine. When I modify the datasource
to use a database on a server in the same domain, the form comes up empty with
no errors. Why would flash remoting be able to retrieve a record set from one
server (over the internet) but can not retrieve the same record set from a
server on the same domain as my web server?

Here is an update on my situation: When the page loads I can see the data in
the drop downs but immediately after I can see the text it gets erased and both
drop downs are empty. It's almost like it loses the recordset out of memory or
something. Any ideas out there?

YOur going to need to post some code so we can look at what you have done.

I have attached the actionscript for the data connection. The odd thing about
this issue is some of the data is being displayed from the webservice call and
then some is not. The drop down list is not being populated but I am getting
some text in a textarea that is on the form. My datasource is a SQL Server
database and in ColdFusion administrator, I used the actual machine name to
point to the datasource because it is directly linked to my web server. This
configuration is the one giving me problems. If I change the datasource to my
test SQL Server (server.somewhere.com) it works fine. Does this help any?

Here is my actionscript for the data connection:

var connection:mx.remoting.Connection =
mx.remoting.NetServices.createGatewayConnection("http://#CGI.HTTP_HOST#/flashser
vices/gateway/");

var attributeComponentPath = "components.carlsonAttributeDefault";
var myService:mx.remoting.NetServiceProxy;
var responseHandlerA:Object = {};
roleExplorer.myGlobalObjects.carlsonAttributeService =
connection.getService(attributeComponentPath, responseHandlerA );

If it works fine when pointing to your test sql server, then I would guess the
problem is the dsn to the "live" sql server.
Change from the actual machine name to the ip address. If you still have
problems then delete the dsn and create it again in the cf admin.

I would also suggest building a "test" cf page to ensure that what is being
returned from the cfc is what you want/expect.
This page would just invoke the cfc and cfdump the result.
