Webmaster Forum / Flash / Flash Remoting / April 2004

I am just getting started with Flash Remoting and Cold Fusion so I apologize
for the newbie question, but I have been spinning my wheels trying to figure
out this problem. I am using a very simple example that I took from the
developer site and have modified it to return a string from a cfm file into a
Flash text field.

If I use the old standard of including the  "NetServices.as" file at the top
of the actionscript file and export as actionscript 1.0, I have no problems.

However, when I try to use the newer method of not including the
"NetServices.as" file at the top of the actionscript file and making sure all
of my standard classpaths are in place - $(UserConfig)/Classes, the current
directory, and the standard classpath to the classes folder in first run - and
publishing as Actionscript 2.0, I can't make a gateway connection.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the simple cfm code that I'm using:

<cfset tempStruct.helloMessage = "Hello World">
<cfset Flash.Result = tempStruct.helloMessage>
------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the Actionscript:

//#include "NetServices.as"


NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway");
var gatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
var CFMService = gatewayConnection.getService("helloExamples", this);

helloWorld = function() {
    CFMService.helloWorld();
}
helloWorld();

function helloWorld_Result ( result )
{
   returnField_txt.text = result
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
here are the pertinent variables from the output window when exported as
actionscript 1.0:
This works fine-

Variable _global.NetServices = [object #55, class 'Object'] {
    gatewayUrl:undefined,
    setDefaultGatewayUrl:[function 'setDefaultGatewayUrl'],
    setGatewayUrl:[function 'setGatewayUrl'],
    createGatewayConnection:[function 'createGatewayConnection'],
    getHostUrl:[function 'getHostUrl'],
    isHttpUrl:[function 'isHttpUrl'],
    trace:[function 'trace'],
    getVersion:[function 'getVersion'],
    defaultGatewayUrl:"http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway"
  }
Level #0:
Variable _level0.$version = "WIN 7,0,14,0"
Variable _level0.helloWorld_Result = [function 'helloWorld_Result']
Variable _level0.gatewayConnection = [object #64, class 'NetConnection'] {
    contentType:"application/x-fcs"
  }
Variable _level0.CFMService = [object #65, class 'NetServiceProxy'] {
    nc:[object #64, class 'NetConnection'],
    serviceName:"helloExamples",
    client:[movieclip:_level0]
  }

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
And here are the same variables with actionscript 2.0:
this isn't working-

Level #0:
Variable _level0.$version = "WIN 7,0,14,0"
Variable _level0.helloWorld_Result = [function 'helloWorld_Result']
Variable _level0.gatewayConnection = undefined
Variable _level0.CFMService = undefined
Variable _level0.helloWorld = [function]
Edit Text: Target="_level0.returnField_txt"
    variable = null,
    text = ,
    htmlText = ,
    html = false, textWidth = 0, textHeight = 0, maxChars = null,
    borderColor = 0x000000, backgroundColor = 0xFFFFFF, textColor = 0x000000,

I am working on Windows XP Pro with Flash MX 2004 Professional and Cold Fusion
MX.
This is making me crazy and any help would be appreciated,
