Hi,

I'm trying to install flash remoting for .NET on my company's web server. The
installation program created the flashremoting directory as expected in the IIS
webroot. I copied the directory into our web folder where we'll be using it.

After installing it I downloaded the flash components for Flash MX
Professional 2004 (what we're using) onto the webserver and onto my computer
where I'll be developing flash applications.

I think I must've done something wrong in the installation because when I
point my browser to flashremoting/samples/asp_vb/Example1.aspx it gives me an
error saying, "File or assembly name flashgateway, or one of its dependencies,
was not found." I looked in the bin folder and the flashgateway.dll is there.

Any ideas what I did wrong? We're running Windows Server 2003 and IIS version
6.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for responding.

I installed "Macromedia Flash Remoting Components for Flash MX 2004 and Flash
MX Professional 2004 ActionScript 1.0." I didn't see an option to install
components for ActionScript 2.0 for the professional edition.

I'm thinking that the components aren't the problem here. I have very little
experience with flash, but it looks like the Example1.aspx page should display
"Cool, you have Flash MX!" regardless of your publish settings. The page isn't
accessing a flash file. It seems to have problems with the Flashgateway
namespace/assembly.

Any ideas?

Could it be something to do with frconfig.txt in the bin folder?
This is what the file contains for me:

# Flash Remoting MX for .NET - Configuration File
# Each configuration property should begin on a new line using a key = value
format.
#
SN=
IP=
Log Level=Error
Log File Size=1048576

One thing I forgot to mention is I deleted a few lines from the Web.Config file
in the flashremoting directory because they were giving me errors. I deleted
the authentication and sessionState lines.
Could this be the cause of my problems?

Check out Foundation ASP.NET for Flash (http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1590595173) - it has a couple of good chapters on Remoting for .NET
