I recently redesigned an internal application for one of my companies larger
clients. The app need the ability for users to register (so we could show them
different views). We choose to use Flash + Remoting to power the entire app.
Flash MX 2004 v2 components were used keep a consistent UI and were easy to use
/ deploy to meet our deadline. The site was published for Flash Player 6 and
everything seemed to be working fine (We beta tested it for a week on both Mac
and PC's -- it even worked on my Pocket PC). Yesterday the app launched and I
have been having some very weird emails coming back to me.

Some users are unable to register because the combo boxes are not being
populated with data. For other users the last 4 -5 components on the page just
don't work (the screenshots show a component there -- but it is not displaying
any information (combo box and text area to be exact)). We manually registered
one user only to find that she was unable to login (the login components
wouldn't work correctly).

I have requested OS's, Browsers, Flash Player Versions (and requested them to
update the player). All the request are coming back with different results
(all are on PC's) but the browser differs from IE 4 - 6 and the OS differs from
98 -XP.

The biggest problem is I can't generate this error to save my life (I
downgraded to Flash 6, tested on over 10 office machines, nothing works FINE on
all of them).

I am out of solutions and came here for help!!!! Please HELP!!! :)

Thanks,

I had similar issues with my application once I moved it from the development
environment
to the production server.
Components not showing data, etc.
Clicking on the login button and nothing happening.
Inside my movies I created the connection to my server with a localhost
reference but when testing
in the server machine, this wouldn't work. What I did was to change the
reference from localhost to
the reference I will be using in the browser. I mean
if in the browser I'm going to type something like:
http://servername/flashremoting/myapplication/index.swf

then inside index.fla, I changed the reference from localhost to servername

i.e.

before
http://localhost/flashremoting/gateway.aspx
after
http://servername/flashremoting/gateway.aspx

I yet to try using the domain name but hopefully it will work based on the
current results.

Hope this helps
