macromedia flash flash remoting: I've been trying to get Flash Remoting to work with ColdFusion MX 7 but can't
seem to (by the way, I have installed ColdFusion on my computer so I can
develop applications, and it's not the trial edition nor the Developer
Edition). I know that ColdFusion has the Flash Remoting service adapter
bundled, so I searched all over the internet, LIveDocs, Flash Remoting Support
Center, and the ColdFusion documention, but there is no information on how to
activate the service. I did manage to find something in the "Advanced
Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 Application Development" book by Ben Forta, where it
stated:

"To enable the Flash Remoting Gateway servlet, uncomment the following line in
the <service-adapters> section:
<adapter type="servlet">flashgateway.adapter.java.ServletAdapter</adapter>"

After I do this, and restart the ColdFusion Application service, I check to
see if Flash Remoting is working by typeing the following URL into IE:
"http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway", and I still get a 404 error
page. I've even tried it with the URL without the port number, and still get a
404 error page.

Anyone with ColdFusion MX 7 have any insights?

I also have ZoneAlarm Pro installed, although it's remote, but would that
somehow be blocking my connection to Flash Remoting, even though I allowed
anything that belongs to ColdFusion and Java?

Thanks for any advice anyone can lend.

Nevermind, I figure out the issue. I wasn't using the correct path within the
Flash .swf when connecting to the Flash Remoting Gateway. In fact, the above
mentioned tip about uncommenting the Flash Remoting Gateway servlet is not
needed at all. I re-commented the item, back to the default, and my test code
still worked. It seems like with version 7, Flash Remoting is activated
automatically, as opposed to 6, which had to be activated.

Me too!

Any advice?

hi dick,

i found on this forum, that they have taken that function off since there is
some security issue on checking for a blank page by entering
flashservices/gateway. the only way you can check is to run some remoting code
and see it it works.
