Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / February 2006

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.
