macromedia flash flash remoting: [quoted text, click to view]
Database Query."

There is a problem in your bikeparts service. The query has a problem that
is not traceable through Flash. The best approach is to build a test harness
CFM page to test out the query.

FYI, there is no flashservices/gateway directory. It is a virtual path.
Still, the problem is not with remoting, but with your query. If you can't
get it to work, post the code.

Has any tried the example bicycle parts catalog? I installed cold fusion on my PC and have followed the instrcutions to the tee. But I am having problems getting the data to show up in Flash. The code I have input is:

var net_conn = NetServices.createGatewayConnection("http://127.0.0.1:8500/flashservices/gateway");
var partService = net_conn.getService("devnet.bikeparts");
partService.getPartInfo(partResponder);

When I run the progam with the NetConnection Debugger on it errors and the data does not show. The error message is:
"Service threw an exception during method invocation: Error Executing Database Query."

When I review the cold fusion root directory which equates to localhost:8500/ I could not find the directory flashservices/gateway. Not sure if that is a vitual one or has something not been installed. PS i have installed Flash Remoting Components. Any help would be great, tech support won't even budge to try and help, after spending a $1,000 because macromedia says that flash can dynamically updata data between a database and flash. i am left with an un easy feeling in my stomach and some very upset clients. Please help.

Thanks,

Dave

Tom,

Thanks for the answer, not sure what that exact problem is but I downloaded the note board sample and it worked fine. So I have been able to reverse engineer tje code and cf code and begin my RIA. By chance do you know why a component (ie. combobox) will not allow you to populate it with data (from a database) while it is in a separate movieclip than your _root? Just curiouse.

Thanks again,

Dave
