Cf8 Flash Form Problems

After we upgraded to CF8 all of our flash form are giving us
this error:
Error generating Flash Movie from form definition.
from this site:
http://cf.acesag.auburn.edu/fisheries/publications/
Any ideas guys? I really need this up and running fairly soon
cheers,
troy

You might want to check your IIS mappings and make sure it's
pointing to the correct CFIDE directory in the new ColdFusion 8
installation. I had a similar problem and found it was still
pointing to the CF 7 directory.

CF8 Flash forms nor server monitor not working on authenticated server

Have bee troubleshooting an issue with the server monitor and
flash forms not working on a CF8 server that is completely
authenticated. You can see the full thread of the issue here
http://groups.google.com/group/houcfug/browse_thread/thread/71160184e762587f?hl=en
In the pre-cf8 days, we had implemented the following "fix"
for NT Authentication with CF Templates
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_18516
However, when I uncheck the "Check that file exists" flag in
IIS6, both the server monitor and the CFFORM type = flash are now
both working. Am I making a tradeoff between NT security and
Flash/Flex?
My question is this, is the "fix" referenced in the KB
article abonve still needed for CF8?
If so, do I have to decide between security and Flash/Flex or
is there a way to have both NT security and flash/flex on the
server?
If not, I would suggest that somebody from Adobe make an edit
to the KB article pointing out that the "Fix" is not needed for CF8
and if implemented will break the server monitor and flash forms
and Flex on that CF server.
Thanks,
M

I mean when I open the administrator and click on Launch
Server Monitor it does nothing. Does not open and as far as I can
tell no error is generated or logged. If I open it outside of the
the administrator it opens but when I click on Statistics or Alerts
I get a logon Server Monitor logon box that tells me that the
ColdFusion Server is not started.

Host Header Flash Forms Problems

Hello,
I'm running CFMX 7.01 on IIS 6, Windows 2003 Server....
I've created an intranet application that uses several flash
forms. The site is located in the folder of
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\CorpComWeb. This can be referenced from the
Default website by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ OR
http://CorpComm (after adding an
internal DNS host header and then referencing it in Website -
Advanced - Host header value). This works great for every page
EXCEPT the two pages that contain CF Flash Forms. When I try to
access these pages using
http://CorpComm/flashformpage.cfm it spins into infinity (no
error just never loads). If I access the page by
http://sandy/corpcomweb/ the
page loads fine.
Any ideas as to why this would be?
Thanks in advance!

Ok, stupid mistake on my part.
When creating the new site in IIS, I forgot to add a virtual
directory pointing to CFIDE...

Has anyone seen this with Flash Forms / CF8?

I have a website that uses a few flash forms on different
pages. It's on a CF8 server and the clients are generally IE6.
Sometimes all works well, sometimes the flash form on a page
doesn't show up.
Refreshing the browser, closing/re-opening the browser don't
work. Restarting CF doesn't work.
I put the same code on another CF8 server and access with IE7
and it works fine.
Why the heck would a form show or not show intermittently
when nothing has changed in the site code or server settings?
Thanks in advance.

I am seeing this on a CF7 installation. What I noticed is
that it started on 10/31, which is the very date that Microsoft
patches were rolled out to all of our users. The updates in
question were the following:
KB921503
KB936021
KB938127
KB938829
I have NOT verified that there is a relationship, but the
patches were applied IMMEDIATELY before the problems started, right
in the middle of the day. It is far too coincidental to assume
there is not a relationship. This is affecting my flash forms, and
also some of my javascript combo boxes.
I will update when I discover more, and if others would do
the same I would appreciate reading about it.

I Need Dire Help Making a Flash Form

Hello, I need some serious help creating a Flash Form.
I Have used a template from another site with the following
input boxes:
Name: __________
Email: __________
Comments: ____________
However, i had the script working fine, along with its php
script,
when i was trying to add more "text" boxes, i must have
messed the script up somhow.
When I submit that form, the name is send and email, but the
email is blank.. ie, there is no "comments"
here is the code:
on submit button:
on (release) {
// send variables in form movieclip (the textfields)
// to email PHP page which will send the mail
form.loadVariables("email.php", "POST");
sent email messege
onClipEvent(data){
// show welcome screen
_root.nextFrame();
and the php script (mailer.php)
php form email.pho
<?php
* PHP 4.1.0+ version of email script. For more
* information on the mail() function for PHP, see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
// First, set up some variables to serve you in
// getting an email. This includes the email this is
// sent to (yours) and what the subject of this email
// should be. It's a good idea to choose your own
// subject instead of allowing the user to. This will
// help prevent spam filters from snatching this email
// out from under your nose when something unusual is put.
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "My Flash site reply";
// variables are sent to this PHP page through
// the POST method. $_POST is a global associative array
// of variables passed through this method. From that, we
// can get the values sent to this page from Flash and
// assign them to appropriate variables which can be used
// in the PHP mail() function.
// header information not including sendTo and Subject
// these all go in one variable. First, include From:
$headers = "From: " . $_POST["firstName"] ." ".
$_POST["lastname"] . "<" . $_POST["email"] .">\r\n";
// next include a replyto
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
// often email servers won't allow emails to be sent to
// domains other than their own. The return path here will
// often lift that restriction so, for instance, you could
send
// email to a hotmail account. (hosting provider settings may
vary)
// technically bounced email is supposed to go to the
return-path email
$headers .= "Return-path: " . $_POST["email"];
// now we can add the content of the message to a body
variable
$message = $_POST["message"];
// once the variables have been defined, they can be included
// in the mail function call which will send you an email
mail($sendTo, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
If anyone can see why the "comments" section is not being
sent?
Also: My original problem was how do you add more text boxes.
I want something like this:
Name:
Address:
Phone:
Mobile:
Email:
Website:
Comments:
Ive spent days and days trying to work out how to first make
a form that actually works, then add more text fields
Ive looked at many basic form tutorials, but they all seem to
only have 3 or 4 text fields.. Name, Email, Comments... etc
I haven't a clue how to edit the script both in action script
and php to add more fields easy.
I really need some help with this, its turning into a
nightmare for me.
I can provide someone with my .fla project file if they care
to take a look at what im doing wrong.
Thanks
Pan
ps. Please note: "$sendTo = "[email protected]";" =
this line i know i must put in my own email.

This is all about timelines. It seems there is a movieclip
named 'form' (or possibly an actionscript object, can't tell). Any
variables created on that timeline are sent.
So you could have your new textfields on another timeline.
Or you could have textfields with no instance name in the
form timeline.
Those are the first two things to look at. Post the FLA and
we can tell you more specifically.

Flash forms -- Not displaying in IE

This is my first foray into flash forms, and I discovered
yesterday that while they look/work beautifully in Firefox
(2.0.0.4), they're not displaying at all in IE (6 or 7).
I'm using it to force the user to input their date in a
uniform format, so I'm sure there's a non-flash workaround. I'd
like to get this sorted out though, so my future work with flash
can be more involved.
Code is attached. Please let me know if I can provide further
clarification.

Michael --
Thanks for your help.
I think I've narrowed the problem down -- it's not that it
won't display my flash form in IE, it's that it won't display it in
a Fusebox environment. I'm going to poke over at their site to see
what they have to say -- I suspect I'll need to upgrade the version
of Fusebox that I'm using. :)

How to validate date fields in the flash form

i want to validate the date fields to make sure the values
are not greater than today's date and from-date is less than or
equal to to-date in the flash form. Does the actionscript have a CF
DateDiff function for the validatation?
Thanks

I finally (after much reading up on actionscript) figured out
my problem with date validation...which was similar to yours...
I posted the solution I found for my AS date validation issue
here:

I hope it helps!!!

Flash forms in Safari 3.0

I just installed the new Apple Safari 3.0 for Windows. I
wanted to see how our web site would work with the new browser. I
found that flash forms do not load. All I get is a blue lego block
with question marks. I checked the plugins and there is a listing
for "Shockwave Flash" version 9.0 r45. Is there something else that
needs to be installed to make this work?
Thanks,
Don

Count me on with the problem. We are running CF 7. I have
also not found anything. I did report it using the little bug in
Safari 3 and have been looking for the latest releases of the
browser. I love the browser overall (I am an apple fan) but we need
this to work. I am wondering if the problem is in how CF renders
and puts out the flash content. Some kind of meta data that is not
up to date? Have no clue however.

How to get "Subject" & "Message" text from Flash form to default e-mail MS Outlook?

Hi,
I have the following code which is working fine except I can't get the user typed data from flash form to my default e-mail (MS Outlook) application. How to edit the following code?
In the code:
1) To ----> this field is okay since this email ID doesn't change
2) Cc ----> this filed is also okay since no changes will be in email ID
3) Subject ----> this may not be always as "Feedback", user may like to change the subject
Whant I would like to add more here is:
1) From ----> this text to be retrieved from "fromText.txt" input text box
2) Message ----> this text to be retrieved from "MessageText.txt" input text box
//1.Button event listener
SendMail.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, SendEMail);
//2.The SendMail function open up email application to send email.
function SendEMail(event:MouseEvent):void {
var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]?CC=[email protected]&Subject=Feedback");
navigateToURL(email, "_blank");
Thanks in advance for any support.
Regards.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the code and result is like the following:
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
Subject: [object TextField]?body=From: [object TextField]
Body: Blank
The problem exist in SUBJECT & BODY.
Further help, please.
Thanks.
PS: I removed the ? before body and put & ------> the result is as follows:
To: [email protected]
Cc: [email protected]
Subject: [object TextField]
Body: From: [object TextField]
[object TextField]
One more thing that it opens an empty web page with the following text in adress bar:
mailto:[email protected]?CC=poweruser@helpdesk&Subject=Feedback

Flash Forms Not Rendering in IE7, Flash 9

We're having a problem with flash forms in IE7 and Flash
Player 9 not rendering the entire form. The form works fine in
Firefox 2. It looks to be a problem with how the Flash player is
able to pull back data in IE7. Likely this pertains to how IE7
handles security of plug-ins.
Oddly, we've noticed that uninstalling the Flash 9 player and
then reinstalling results in the form rendering correctly the first
time, but on subsequent views the form no longer renders correctly.
Specifically, we're not seeing data that is being called via
Flash remoting in cfselect tags (state and country information).
And we're not seeing text rendered that is in cfformitem tags. Our
dev url is:
http://hopeequity.beaconfire.com/loggedout/index.cfm?event=StartInvesting_StartAGroupStep1
If anyone has an idea of why IE7 might not be able to render
the form correctly, or might have security-related issues with
remoting and Flash 9, please reply.

I was granted access to the manuals on our prod server (the
site is set up where you have to log in to see the manuals). The
manuals are behaving differently on the prod server than in our dev
server. The following is happening on the prod server:
- the flash menus are appearing on our prod server in FireFox
only.
- I had reported in our dev area that when I right clicked on
the left hand side where the menus are to appear in IE that the
Flash menu displayed. This is not the case in our production area.
- I get the "This page contains both secure and nonsecure
items" when viewing the site on our prod server through IE
I've asked them what version of RoboHelp they are using and
no one seems to know. It seems they don't regenerate their help
files (manuals) very often.

Flash Forms not displaying

I have just about given up on flash forms. I have read just
about every thread in this Forum, but cannot find the answer.
Have worked with flash forms in the past, but after recently
upgraded to a new box with Vista Business and Codl Fusion 8 Dev
Edition I cannot get flash forms working. I have have seen a tonne
of postings with the same issue, but few with a resolution, and
where there is I try it and makes no difference.
If I run the following code:
<cfform format="flash">
<cfinput type="dateField" name="startDate" label="Start
Date:" mask="dd/mm/yyyy">
</cfform>
If I remove format="flash" form works fine. If I include
format="flash" form doesn't display. View source shows the code
there, CFIDE is mapping correctly etc.
One thing I do notice though, which may or may not be
involved is that when viewing the code generated, it is looking in
the same folder that the script that includes the form was in. Do I
need to tell it to look somewhere else? Pure speculation here, but
EVERYTHING else checks out.
If someone at Adobe can set this straight would be great,
because an afternoon spent reading other postings on this matter
shows there are clearly a lot of people stumbling around in the
dark on this one.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

CF Flash Forms issue with IE

Hello,
I just created a CF Flash Form and it works fine. BUT I have
to do an extra click to access my flash form.
How do I get rid of this extra click?
Is there any special script that I should be pasting into my
code?
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you are seeing the EOLAS problem with IE

Addition in Flash Forms

Hello. This is what I am trying to accomplish. I am making a
tabbed registration flash form and I would like the person
completing the form to see a total as he makes the selection for
what he will be attending. The way I approached the problem was to
bind an ActionScript function to the
GRANDTOTAL form field, but when the form finishes loading in
the browser, the
NaN error pops up. I tried to convert the field selections
explicitly to numbers to perform the addition, but it is obviously
not working. If anyone could shed some insight into this, that
would be great. Thank you in advance. The code for the tab that
handles the selection is below.

You need to store the information user have input before
somewhere. You can store it in local shared object, which is dubbed
as a "flash cookie" -- Flash MX. Then you will retrieve it at
execute an autofill. If you store the user's info in a remote
database -- you can loadVars from you server with the form
information.
Search for SharedObject in flash help -- it is pretty
straight forward and simple.
I forgot to mention that you will need to compare entry in
the form field with the stored info on each key stroke, naturally,
and display results in an additional text field, etc.
Hope it helps...

GET FLASH FORM TO WORK

OK, I am trying to get my flash form to work and I'm working
with a template from FLASH MX BIBLE. I'm going to paste both my
action script and my cgi script in here & hopefully I can find
an answer to why it doesn't work. Basically what happens is it says
it was received, but it wasn't. ... or it is but none of the words
come through (this happened earlier before I tried tweeking the
script... which I think made it worse).
........ thank you thank you to anyone who can help me

Hi kglad. One. not sure how to "use the onData event of
receiveLoad and see what error message you're getting." Sorry,
don't use as2 very much. Two. I am doing all this on the same
domain, so there should not be any security issues.
I asked goDaddy what the problem might be and this was their
(snarky) reply;
"As you have already been informed, when using a flash form
on your site, in the scripting for the form you will need to
reference our SMTP server at relay-hosting.secureserver.net and
this server does not require authentication."
They gave me this code a couple of days ago and told me to
stick this into my PHP code. It didn't help.
This is beyond me I am afraid.

Href in CF FLASH FORM

I'm having some problems with my Rich Form using Flash Forms
built into ColdFusion8. When I add the href and ran the site, when
you click on the column and item under that column nothing happens.
What is missing here?
<cfform name="myForm" format="flash" width="400"
height="300" skin="haloorange">
<cfformgroup type="panel" label="Current Accounts">
<cfformgroup type="horizontal">
<cfinput type="text" name="forInput" width="120"
onchange="#actionFilter#" label="Filter by:">
<cfselect name="column" label="in:"
onchange="forInput.text=''" width="90">
<option value="Account_Type">Account
Type</option>
<option
value="ID_Company_Community">Community</option>
<option value="LastLogin">Last Login</option>
</cfselect>
</cfformgroup>
<cfgrid name= "data" query="memberList" height="200"
rowheaders="false" selectcolor="##FFFFCC">
<cfgridcolumn name="Account_Type" header="Account Type"
href="test.cfm">
<cfgridcolumn name="ID_Company_Community"
header="Community">
<cfgridcolumn name="LastLogin" header="Last Login"
mask="MMMMM-DD-YYYY">
</cfgrid>
</cfformgroup>
</cfform>
When you click on an item under that column shouldn't it take
you to test.cfm????
--------- UPDATE --------
I see that the href IS NOT supported in the FLASH format. Is
there way to accomplish the task without href? How can I make a
column a href and redirect the user to a details page for that
selected listing? Thanks
Thanks for your anticipated response.
Todd Warne

Hi-
I copied your form code and submitted the variables back to
that page, and got no error, for what that's worth. My guess is
that the prob. might be in the page you're submitting to rather
than in the form itself?
