coldfusion flash integration : CFMX7 app not working on server

I created a CFMX7 application on my pc but when it was loaded to the CF server
to be deployed it's not working. I have the debugging turned on, but it
doesn't say there is anything wrong.

IE gives an error that there is an expected object on line 84, but I have
checked the coding and don't see anything wrong. It works on my computer, why
doesn't it work on the server?

Can anyone help me PLEASE? I really need help since this application should
have been launched a month ago and I can't seem to figure out why it's not
working.

Thanks in advance.

Is this a flash form-based application, and are you running on IIS with virtual
directories for your site(s)? If so, you have to create a virtual mapping to
the CFIDE folder in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot folder (this folder contains the
scripts/cfform.js which provides the backbone for the flashform).

My office actually ran into this problem a couple days ago and it caused many
headaches!

If it's not an issue with flash forms, I'm afraid I don't have any other
suggestions.

Yes, I am using Flash Form/Grids. How do you set up a virtual mapping?

Unfortunately, I don't do much with the server-side operations, so I'm not
entirely sure of the process. I do know that in IIS, you will right click on
the virtual directory of the website for which you want to create a virtual
mapping. In the popup options, there should be an option for virtual mapping.
From there, I'm not entirely sure, but I think you simply specify the absolute
path to the CFIDE folder on the Inetpub\wwwroot directory.

I know that we had some permissions issues that had to be taken care of after
the mapping was made, but it worked splendidly after that.

I apologize that I do not have more information. However, the guy who made
the mapping will be in the office tomorrow--I will email him this thread and
ask him to supply more information.

Good luck!

Here are the instructions that my co-worker sent me:

Open up the IIS manager

Select any of the secondary websites that are affected by the
problem (presumably all of them)

Right click and add new virtual directory

Provide the alias of "CFIDE" (on some systems, case matters)

Browse to the location of the originally installed CFIDE directory
(by default: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cfide)

Allow Read and Run Scripts Permissions (You are done with that step)

On the same website definition, right click and add new virtual
directory

Provide the alias of "JRunScripts" (on some systems, case matters)

Browse to the location of the original Java run time library (by
default: C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1)

Allow Read and Run and *EXECTUTE*

Restart the website by stopping it, and restarting it from within IIS

Hope this helps, and let me know if it works for you---this may be an issue
that needs to be more fully documented.

I contacted my IT network dept. and this is their reply to your previous question on ISS.

Yes we are, and we already have the mapping
