coldfusion flash integration: I cannot for the life of me figure this out. All the mxml generates with no
errors or variable duplications but the form just does not render... does
anyone know where i can find info on this bug ? it seems to just happen
arbitrarily from time to time when a line of code gets added like the 32K bug.

I am having the same problem. I am not running on a shared server and the
mappings to CFIDE/scripts/ appear to be correct. The simplest flash form
doesn't work, but the HTML and XML formats render just fine. Flashplayer 9 is
installed.

Can you confirm if the browser is actually finding the generated flash?
Safari/Mac has a nifty window called 'activity' that shows what files
load and if thay are not found.

I was having the same problem, and determined that, even tho the
mapping was setup in cfadmin, it still wasnt finding the CFIDE/scripts/.

I copied the folder into my root and that fixed the problem. (On my
list of things to fix shortly of course).

Atleast in my troubleshooting, I've narrowed this problem down to the
following:
Within IIS, if I uncheck the box to verify that file exists for
"D:\CFusionMX7\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll" in the "Wildcard
application maps" section, then CF flash forms will work again, but NTFS file
permissions are ignored.
I have sent an email to secure@macromedia.com to see what they have to say
about this.

No, i have not recieved a response from Adobe. I will try another avenue for support and report back if i hear anything.

I called tech support. They used Breeze to take a look at my server config and
saw what we're dealing with . The support person was stumped. He said he would
call me back in a couple hours. A couple days later, some gal left a message
that my issue was outside installation support and I would have to purchase a
support plan for further assistance! W-T-F. If security is not configured
properly during the install and I have to use one of their support documents to
'fix' it which breaks one of the main features we upgraded to MX 7 for, I damn
sure think this is an installation issue!

Basically what their saying is we pay $$$ for Cold Fusion server, then have to
pay atleast another $499 for it to be secure AND use all the features in that
release....

My company has been using CF since version 4.x... it looks as tho this is the
end of the line.

Update:

I found this post by Ted Zimmerman in a different thread after posting the
previous msg:

[q]There is a forthcoming technote for this problem. The following should
work, but you have to be on 7.0.1 or greater:

1. Open flex-config.xml for editing.
Server configuration: cf_root\wwwroot\WEB-INF\cfform\
Multiserver or J2EE configuration:
jrun_root/servers/servername/cfusion-ear/cfusion-war/WEB-INF/cfform/.
Look for the following line:

<keep-generated-swsf>false</keep-generated-swsf>

Set the value of the attribute to "true" and save the file.

2. Create a directory named 'CFFormGateway' under the IIS webroot. You may
leave this newly created directory empty.
Navigate to your CFIDE/scripts directory. Make a copy of the cfform.swc file
and rename it to cfform.swc.cfswf.

3. Restart the ColdFusion server and IIS.

Test a page containing a Flash form. You will see a file with a name in the
format XXXXXXXXX.mxml.cfswf in the same directory as the CFM page generating
the Flash form, and your Flash form will display properly in the browser.

I still think this is bullshit that Adob-o-media wanted me to pay $499 for
this INSTALLATION issue. :(
