Flex 2, FDS 2.5 and CF8

Hi everyone,
I am starting to retract my brain from an intense 2 days to
figure out how to use Flex with Coldfusion. I am using Coldfusion 8
Beta (this part is good, don't need help for CF itself). I am also
using Flex Builder 2 (with chart but this not the topic). I
installed FDS 2.5 before to install ColdFusion 8 but I think CF8
have is own FDS or something like that... anyway, it might help to
mention it!
Well, I tried HTTPService, RemoteObject, WebSer vice -
NOTHING WORKS!!! Argh! Did I mention I spent 2 days? ;-)))
Well, I start with the basic: a login form with an email (as
a username) and a password to be validated. I have a CFC to do the
validation and return a simple message (string): "OK' when it is
valid and a custom message when it is not valid; depending if it is
the password and/or the email which is not valid.
I always got an error. Since the error is different depending
of the method I use, I will explain the latest method I used in
this message and try to concentrate on that method specifically!
The method is WebService and here is the error:
faultCode:Server.Error.Request
faultString:'HTTP request error'
faultDetail: 'Error: [IOErrorEvent type="ioError"
bubbles:false cancelable=false eventPhase=2
text="Error #2032: Stream Error .
URL=http://localhost:8501/iDashboard/login.cfc"].
URL: http://localhost:8501/iDashboard/login.cfc'
Any help will be very useful!!!
Thank's
P.S.: I succeed to execute a HTTPService only if I call a XML
file.

Sorry, I made a mistake as the error mentioned before is not
a real error. It was an error because the service of ColdFusion 8
was not really stopped!
It has no error:

You can connect Flex to CF with out the use of LCDS(FDS) So a better place to look for answers to you question would be the Flex forums. with that said make sure your Flex project is setup to use Coldfusion Flash Remoting Services. Then create a remote object in your mxml file <mx:RemoteObject id="serv" destination="ColdFusion" source="path.toYour.cfc" showBusyCursor="true"> <mx:method name="nameOfFunctionOnCFC" result="resultHandlerFunction(event)" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.message)"/> </mx:RemoteObject> create the handler function private function resultHandlerFunction(event:Event):void{ //do something with your results } then make the call to the service serv.nameOfFunctionOnCFC(email,password); that should work if your paths to your CF server is correct.

P.S.: I succeed only to execute a HTTPService when I call a
XML file, but nothing from ColdFusion. :-(

I successfully used ColdFusion to generate XML as a response
to an HTTPService request in an mxml file, but only after turning
off debug output on ColdFusion Server. (The debug output was being
appended to the XML response and causing a similar error as what
you are seeing.) I don't know if that helps. I am having a problem
figuring out how to pass a variable in the HTTPService request.
Can't figure out if it gets passed in as 'Request.<variable>'
or what. But I can at least provide an example that works if you
don't need to pass any values to the CFML template.

In Flex 3 how to Stop and Replay .swf animation created in Flash

Hi
I have an animation file that is created in Flash (I think
CS3). In Flex if I import it inside a SWFLoader or if I import it
as an Image. It plays once and stops. Then I can not replay it. I
also can not pause it when its playing.
I have tried few things based on help and code available in
the Web to of no help. I have tried to convert the swfLoader
instance to a movie clip like so to stop
var c:MovieClip = swfLoaderHeaddress1.content as MovieClip;
c.stop();
<mx:SWFLoader x="53" y="116" width="206" height="255.3"
visible="true"
source="assets/animations/curatorial/ZoomHeadress_2nd.swf"
id="swfLoaderHeaddress1"/>
It does not work.
I have not created the .swf animation, I am not sure how it
is done. I belive it may not be using any ActionScript as I know
the artist who created it does not know ActionScript. Does
something need to be done inside the Flash to support the stop and
play? Or is there a way to restart/replay stop a .swf animation in
Flex 3 no matter how (and whether or not its developed using
ActionScript) its developed in Flash?

One way is she has to add some AS code to the animation, or
you can do it yourself.
In swf there must be something like this:
var connReciever:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connReciever.client = this;
connReciever.connect("fromFlexToSWF");
function myFunction(parameter:SomeClass):void {...}
And in Flex:
var connSender:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
connSender.send("fromFlexToSWF", "myFunction", [..args]);
The other way: in case with just play/stop there is a way to
resolve this by using that Flex Component Kit (or maybe "Flex Skin
Design Extension", i do not remember), it is something like she
just adding labels to animation frames then she exports it with
Flex Kit and then you can work with it like with an object with
"states".

Flex Builder 3.1 Standard and Flex SDK 4.1 build 16076

Hi I have a problem I have downloaded Flex SDK 4.1 16076 and added to my sdk list in Flex Builder. I can compile my program fine except when I change files the flash imports are removed and the code hints don't have any knowledge of flash.display and other base classes such as Movieclip and Sprite. As soon as a manually paste the imports into my class files it compiles again but can't be doing with copying imports back in every time I change a class file.
It didn't do this on version 4.0.0 - I have added -static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=true to compiler arguments as I did have a problem with it firstly compiling about FontAsset.
Does anyone know why? Do I have to add another swc in?

You should always have separate workspaces for separate versions of Flash Builder.
Flex 3 and Flex 4 have some large differences. You will probably want to spend some time reading about migrating by searching on Google. Here is a good place to start: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flex3and4_differences.html

Client variables not working in Apache and CF8

I have Apache and CF8 set up with multiple virtual hosts
locally for development(win xp pro, apache 2.2.4)
Client variables are not working. I can log into CF
administrator fine(not sure if authentication uses client variables
or not). Any site that I work on that uses client variables behaves
as if the variable is not defined after setting it then going to
another page that checks for its existence. I have verified that
client variables are set up in cf administrator.
Thanks for any help

Thanks a lot. I understood the mistake. Pls do not spend time on this.
Thanks,

Coexistence of CF7 and CF8 on one server

I have CFMX 7.2 running on a server using the external web
server, IIS6. I have installed CF8 in the multiserver configuration
onto the same server. What I read is that for these to coexist the
CF8 needs to be installed on the built-in web server (also what CF
apparently automatically does when the multiserver configuration is
installed).
One of my questions is this - if I have CF7 using the
external web server can I NOT run the web configuration tool and
connect my CF8 instances to the external web server also?
Another question is this - CF8 uses the webroot of
jrun4\servers\instancename\instance-ear\instance-war . I want the
developers to store their documents somewhere else. I have done the
virtual mapping in the jrun-web.xml but I can't get anything to
work when I do that. Is there anyway to point something to the
location of the users files and have them resolve them on a
website?

You can get ColdFusion 7 and 8 running in both server install
mode connected via an external webserver and also via the JRun
multiserver setup. Here's some links to guides on doing both which
should help. Note they'll both need some manually config file
changing, you can't do it all with the wsconfig util.

Windows Updates Causing CFMX7 and CF8 to no longer run.

My CFMX7 and CF8 developer's copy will no longer run on my
computer. The only thing I've done is install window's updates.
Now, every time I reboot, I have to restore to a date about 2 weeks
ago. Then it will run until I have to reboot again. Then I have to
restore again. I have no idea what to do about this. Any help would
be appreciated.
I have both CFMX7 and CF8 installed to run as stand alone
concurrent systems. CFMX7 is supposed to run on port 8500. CF8 is
set to run on 8501. And both DO run, but only when I restore after
reboots.
The only thing I can think of doing at this point is
uninstalling both CF servers and reinstalling them. This will be a
hastle, though, since I'll have to re-setup all my ODBC sources and
copy my wwwroot folders, hoping I don't forget anything else that
I'll have to reset in the adminstrators after I reinstall. This
would be my last choice of action, but I have to act soon as this
is interfering with my dev work with customers.
Anyone have any suggestions?

The exact location depends on what flavor of CF you have
installed,
server, multi-home, j2ee, etc.
But there are a collection that in CF 7 where all called
neo-xxx.xml. I
believe the xml file names are similar for CF 8.
If you copy the desired xml file from your old installation
into a new
installation and then restart the CF server all the settings
can be
restored.
If you are using enterprise or development license servers
you can also
achieve the above using the built in CAR (ColdFusion Archive)
feature of
the administrator.

SAML and CF8

A partner client asked about automatically authenticating
users from their web site to ours using SAML. I googled for a while
today and came across one older 6 part tutorial where most of it
seemed to be relatively specific to CF7. Knowing all of the great
new changes in CF8 that I now have at my disposal, is anyone aware
of any articles or tutorials about SAML and CF8?
Thanks,

Iis7 and cf8

Hi,
I configured iis7 and cf8. The question is that, do i put my

Weird things happening when i put it on both locations.
Sometimes changes dont effect etc.
Thank you,
Syed

Hi, I would put it under inetpub, but both are not an issue,
you can do either one.
What is your problem, as there should not really be any
problem here.

Cs3 DW, ADDT toolbox and CF8

My fresh install is locking up.
Is anyone actually running toolbox, DW CS3 and CF8?
Tech support says that Toolbox is not compatible with DW8, but can't explain why it locks up even when I'm not connected (remote or testing) when I try to use the control panel.
It seems to me that the problem is between DW CS3 and Toolbox.

Hi Gunter
As usual you have saved the day.
Firstly, I renamed the WinFileCache... file, opened up DW CS3 and the problem appears to have been resolved.
Secondly, now, that is a very interesting question regarding Daylight Savings which ended on 6th Apr, last weekend. Yesterday, 9th Apr, was the first time I had used DW CS3 since the week before last. (Have been on vacation. Now, I installed DW CS3 in Aug 2007 so yesterday was the first time it has been used since the ending of Daylight Savings last weekend. I did not experience this with DW-UD4, DW MX 2004 or DW 8 in previous years that I can recall.
Thanks again Gunter. If you ever make it to the Antipodes I will be pleased to by you a few beers.

Issues with Flex3 and CF8 on Windows Vista

Sorry for the whine, however I feel it necessary to get a few
issues I've found with Flex3 on a Vista Laptop working with CF8
that I've not seen documented elsewhere.
Environment:
Sony Laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 3 GB Ram.
Running CF 8 Standard Edition, along with mySQL 5.x and
access to a SQL Server instance on another machine on the same
local network.
What I am trying to do:
A) learn flex, my background is CF with over 8 years of
experience along with Flash AS2 along the way.
B) put together a hello world app.
C) use the flex/cf application wizard to build a simple
master/detail set of selection/edit screens for one table of a
database that I used recently on a CF8 project. To see how much
better the UI really is on Flex and whether I could use it to retro
fit that old application to have a better UI using flex3.
Issues.
My mini-application is set up initially in the folder
c:/inetpub/wwwroot/mydirectory, but it does not work.
Reason is that when run, it cannot access the flex2gateway on
the url that the wizard puts into the app. which is
http://localhost/mydirectory/flex2gateway...
Details:
flex2gateway does not work on a subdirectory URL on the
default web site.
If I access
http://localhost/flex2gateway/
I get a blank screen (as expected) meaning that the flex2gatweway
is working.
If I access
http://localhost/mysubdirectory/flex2gateway/
I get a 404.0 error (not found)
Now, I beleive this is supposed to work, something must be
wrong with one of the xml file setups. But I cannot find any
documentation for it.
Initially the flex2gateway did not work at all. I did the web
connector thing with CF batch file and that got it working, but
only on the base directory, not the subdirectory.
So, to get around this issue, Luckily Vista with IE7 allows
more than one website.. I create a whole new website that is
accessed using
http://192.168.1.73:81/
I set this website up in the folder c:/localhost/mydirectory.
The flex project is called mydirectory
So we come to issue 2.
Given the above Issue number 1, I have further frustration
because when the Flex/Cold Fusion Application wizard builds the
various mxml files it insists on prefixing all of the remote object
calls with 'mydirectory.'
e.g "mydirectory.components.cfgenerated.mycfc"
Now, given that the web root is also the base of the project,
this will not work.
What actually works is: "components.cfgenerated.mycfc"
There seems to be no way I can configure the project when
building it to get around this issue. The only way |I can fix this
is to manually edit all the mxml files after the wizard is
finished. I also have to doctor the project setup for similar
reasons. It wants all of the urls to be:
http://192.168.1.73:81/mydirectory/bin/main.html
instead of
http://192.168.1.73:81/bin/main.html
So obviously the wizard is not set up to handle applications
that are based right at the web root, even though this is the only
place that the flex2gateway can work. <snafu I guess>
Issue 3:
I find that the flex/Cf application wizard is set up to build
pages based upon a certain narrowly defined way of constructing the
source database tables. In particular it wants every table to have
its own unique numeric id for each row, and can't handle a string
for the primary key and have the primary key editable as well.
Seems inflexible if you ask me. The main problem is that the
preconditions on the table structure that the wizard can work with
are poorly defined and documented. You obviously had to go to the
same school of database design and the same class as the Adobe
developers to think in the same way.
Given that this tool is supposed to be a help to new users of
Flex and AS3 and it is supposed to be a productivity aid, perhaps I
should not be surprised to have had to spend over a week getting to
grips with the wizard and learning its tricks just to get it to
build a mind numbingly simple mini app of my own that works when
run. Sorry Adobe, but you get a F minus on your report card for
this one, particularly on the really bad documentation. Just as bad
for the coding complexity of the solution to seemingly simple
application concept.

Hi,
Which version of RDP client you are using for your client?
Does more user login at same period of time?
As you have commented that after sticking the user can’t able to login in RDCB server, here I can suggest you to check the setting of connection broker. Also you can check that you have place the proper location path of UPD while configuring in collection configuration
wizard. You can take a look at below article foe virtual desktop configuration.
Deploying Virtual Desktops with Windows Server 2012
Are you trying to use same UPD for different collection then also it might happens to occur your issue. The fact of UPD is User profile disks are for a single collection only. A user connecting to two different collections will have two separate profiles. If
you want to synchronize settings, refer to Microsoft User Experience Virtualization. Go through this article for more understanding related to UPD.

Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Flex3 and CF8

I am a Flex newbie, experience ColdFusion user.
I am using the trial version of Flex Builder 3 to create a
new project (File/New/Project/FlexBuilder/Flex Project).
In the New Flex Project window, I enter the project name,
select "web application" as the application type, and select
"ColdFusion" as the server technology. The "Use remote object
access service" is checked, and "LiveCycle Data Services" is
selected.
In the next screen - in the server location, I enter
"Standalone" as the installation type, the webroot is
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot," and the root url is "
http://127.0.0.1" (I'm using IIS, so
I'm not using port 8500). This is the screen where I see error at
the top - "LiveCycle Data Services is not installed at the
specified location." But I made sure LiveCycle Data Services was
installed when I installed ColdFusion8, and "Enable Remote Adobe
LiveCycle Data Management access" is checked in the ColdFusion
Administator panel.
Also, I went back in the New Project dialog and changed the
server option to "ColdFusion Flash Remoting", and I was able to
create a new project. However, now I cannot connect to my
datasources using RDS configuration - I keep getting the error
"Unable to connect to localhost".
What is missing? Any help on either of these topics would be
appreciated. If I can get this to work, it would justify the
purchase of the full version.

I assume from your post that you installed ColdFusion 8 onto
your local machine because you're using 127.0.0.1 as your root URL.
During the installation you have to select to install RDS (which
isn't checked by default) AND LiveCycle Data Services; LCDS prompts
for a serial number, but defaults to a "free" single-CPU license
after 120 days.
I had to completely uninstall Coldfusion 8, and reinstall
(twice) to make sure EVERYTHING was checked/selected for Flex 3 to
be happy. Try removing the "localhost" default entry for RDS and
creating your own with the IP address of your PC. Since you're
running IIS (locally, right?) then RDS should be looking on port
80, and I think the RDS entry for "localhost defaults to using port
8500. Once you give it your PC's IP and the password for RDS that
you create when you installed CF8, you should be able to do a
successful test to ensure that RDS is even listening. When you
selected to install to IIS (rather than install CF8's own web
services) did you also specify "All Websites"?
