macromedia flash flash remoting:
Hello, I am unable to run remoting on any server other than my personal
server. If I use this code I'm fine: var net_conn =
NetServices.createGatewayConnection('http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway
'); but if I try and change localhost:8500 to the production server's name or
IP I get this: Error opening URL 'http://servername/flashservices/gateway'.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Luke

You are correct in that I do not get a blank page. (I do on another server that
works.) I'm not sure what else I need to install. I believe I installed
everything: Flash MX 2004 (7.2), ColdFusion 6.1 Server, Flash Player 7, and
Flash Remoting Components for 2004 ActionScript 2.0. Am I missing something?
I'm also getting an error: 'Could not generate stub objects for web service
invocation. ' When I try to use cfinvoke to get at the web service in a cfm
page on that server. I'm stumped. I've looked all over the Internet and I find
people with these problems but no real solutions. Thanks for any help you can
give.

The only thing that you should need on a server is ColdFusion 6.1 server and
Flash Remoting Components. Not sure why you would have Flash MX 2004 unless
you're using the server as a workstation for development as well although I
would never do this on a production server. You said: 'You are correct in that
I do not get a blank page. (I do on another server that works.) ' Okay, any
differences between the two servers? Unless you get the blank page to ensure
that remoting is installed, no sense continuing. I would attempt to get this
working by: 1. Re-install the remoting components and see if that fixes the
problem. 2. Re-install the CF server and remoting components and see if that
fixes the problem.

I didn't think I need all of that installed but I did because I read this
section on Macromedia:
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_16319#install
I've been trying to find the differences, but it has been a couple of days and
I still can't find anything significant. I have tried re-installing the
remoting components, but not sure I want to re-install CF. This server is still
in use and I can't really make it unavailable. I'll keep looking.

Here are some updates: I ran the steps on this page,
http://www.macromedia.com/support/flashremoting//ts/documents/iis_gateway_connec
tion.htm#enable, and it enabled my Flash Remoting. Now I get a blank page when
I go to http://servername/flashservices/gateway. The odd thing is that I did
the same thing Monday morning and it didn't fix the issue. It may have been
some combination of running the bats and reinstalling the remoting components.
Now on to the 'stub' problem. Since it is an intranet webserver we do not allow
anonymous browsing. I turned that off and the web services worked. Now I'm
trying to get them to work with it turned on.
