Flex and Coldfusion

Hi everyone,
Can someone tell me how I can enable and disable a button on
my flex application based on access level using coldfusion mx 7.
Please help me, thanks
Cliffy

just add a field in your db for the "access level" like
1,2,3,etc then get that value from the select * from login where
user=var and pass=var, that should give you back the level then you
can use it however you want once you are returning it.

    How do I save a file to a server using flex and coldfusion?
    On the CF side I might need to use this:
    <cffile action="UPLOAD" filefield="Filedata"
    destination="#expandpath('..\somepath)#"
    nameconflict="overwrite">
    And on the flex side I might need to use something like this:
    var sendVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    sendVars.action = "upload";
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
    request.data = sendVars;
    request.url = _strUploadScript;

  • Anyone know how to gernerate CRUD applications with flex and coldfusion?

    Anyone know how to gernerate CRUD applications with flex and

    You might investigate "squidhead". It is CF based. I'm not

  • Dynamic value objects in flex and coldfusion 9

    I'm writing a program for a company that does registrations for conventions and trade-shows.  The problem I'm having is that each different client wants to store different data for each show.  Most of the data is the same (attendee's name, address, etc...), but each show has some customizations that it wants to have...  So each database for each show is going to be different...
    Right now, the only way I know how to transfer data from Flex to ColdFusion is via a Value Object.  (Well, the only good way to do it, that is.)  My problem comes when a client wants a particular database customized.  I have MANY questions about this...
    1) How do I tell my Value Object what fields we've added to or changed in the database without re-writing the entire VO (in both the .AS and .CFC files) and re-compiling my program?  In other words, I need a dynamic VO that changes automatcially with the database.
    2) If there is a way to dynamically create a VO in Flex (and from a few blog posts I've seen, it seems there is a way), how do I tell CF9 what the structure of that dynamically-created VO is?  Without re-writing a bunch of .CFC files every time I add or change a field in the database, that is...
    3) How do I reference the dynamically-created fields in my Flex program?  Right now, for example, I can define a variable called attendeeInfo as type attendeeInfoVO, and then reference things like attendeeInfo.first_name, attendeeInfo.last_name, etc...  How do I reference a field programmatcially when I don't know what it's going to be called beforehand?
    4) How do I make my program display/modify those dynamically-created fields?  Right now, using the attendeeInfo example above, I can create a TextInput with an id="firstNameInput" and just say firstNameInput.text = "{attendeeInfo.first_name}".  That won't work when I have no clue how many dynamically-created fields there are, or even what kind of data they're going to store...  How do I deal with this?
    5) Is there something other than VOs that would fit this situation better?  Am I limiting myself by using VOs in the first place?  Is it just plain impossible to do this with VOs?  And if so, what are my alternatives?  I need a structured object that can be passed around with a single reference -- I absolutely DO NOT want to pass a bunch of references to a bunch of different variables -- that's why I used VOs from the very beginning.
    6) Can I simply PAY someone at Adobe for one-on-one help here?  Do they have experts that you can "buy" for a few hours?  What's the charge for that, if such a thing is available?  Or, is this problem well-explained somewhere on the Web, and I just haven't found it yet?
    I'm very confused here, and it seems like I might have to re-write a ton of code, which I'm not looking forward to...  Ugh...  I appreciate any help you can give me...

    This blog post is pretty close to what I want:
    http://justinjmoses.wordpress.com/2008/10/10/flex-dynamic-bindable-value-objects/
    So there are the dynamic value objects I was looking for.  But the blog-poster is using LINQ and .Net 3.5.  I'm using ColdFusion9.
    So, how do I get ColdFusion9 to deal with that?  How do you get CF9 to recognize the fact that you've changed the VO, and deal with it appropriately?
    Thanks,
    L.

  • Flex and Coldfusion error handling

    Hello! I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction regarding error handling in a Flex app thats using an HTTPSERVICE RPC to a Coldfusion component.
    If a user is entering form data in Flex and clicks submit... the data is sent via the HTTPSERVICE send method as XML to the CFC. But what if there is a Coldfusion SQL insert statement error? Say a user enters a character in a number field (now i know the best thing to do would be to have actionscript ensure that the values entered are numbers but lets keep that aside just for this example). How could I alert the user to let them know the CFC encountered a SQL error? Or better yet... alert them that everything went "A" ok and their data was successfully submitted.
    I originally thought to put CFTRY and CFCATCH around the CFC code. I could do that fine, but had trouble passing back a message string so that FLEX could use it in an Alert.Show window.
    Thanks!

    Hey Mike,
    Sorry after I posted I thought "this may be a question for CF guys as well".
    I definitely use and love RemoteObjects. Its great for binding to datagrids and to run SQL to return data from the server back to Flex. I've struggled with successfully passing variables from Flex to CF using RemoteObject though. Say a dataform with 5 text fields & 2 combo box dropdowns.
    I think you may have forgotten to post the link to the article for me to read... i didnt see it in your last post?
    Thanks!

  • Flex and ColdFusion and session facade?

    I want to deploy a flex application on an existing ColdFusion
    server. This server is already in production and uses a root
    Application.cfc to set session variables as well as authenticate
    the user to AD with getAuthUser. When I deploy my flex application,
    it fails because of the OnRequestStart cfcomponent within
    Application.cfc. I am wondering if this would be proper use of
    session facade? How do I best encapsulate session variables from
    the root Application.cfc within my new flex application? Basically
    I will need to follow the same authentication and cfset session
    guidelines that all of my other CF applications use, and my flex
    app needs to have theses session variables available to it, but I
    am not sure the best approach. Any insight is welcome.

    Did you enable session management in the Application.cfc or
    Application.cfm?

  • Flex and ColdFusion web services

    I have a simple CFC created that encompasses a function that
    has a query. I want to be able to use the web service in my Flex
    app, but I am having issues with getting the information from the
    CFC.
    My function is simple:
    <cffunction name="listBySubject" access="remote"
    returntype="query" output="false" hint="I grab the newest
    stories">
    <cfargument name="subject" type="string"
    required="yes">
    <cfquery name="list" datasource="#myDataSource#">
    SELECT linktext, story, photo
    FROM pressreleases
    WHERE rss_feed = <cfqueryparam
    value="#arguments.subject#" />
    OR rss_feed2 = <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.subject#"
    />
    ORDER BY releaseDate DESC
    </cfquery>
    <cfreturn list>
    </cffunction>
    How can I modify that to use in a Flex app's
    <mx:WebService>? Do I have to use cfsavecontent and return
    XML or can I keep it a query and use it with an ArrayCollection?
    Something like:
    <cffunction name="listBySubject" access="remote"
    returntype="xml" output="false" hint="I grab the newest
    stories">
    <cfargument name="subject" type="string"

    value="#arguments.subject#" />
    OR rss_feed2 = <cfqueryparam value="#arguments.subject#"
    />
    ORDER BY releaseDate DESC

    Hi,
    Here is how to do the web services in coldfsuion.
    http://www.quackit.com/coldfusion/tutorial/coldfusion_web_services.cfm
    No in flex you call the webservices like:
    <mx:WebService id="webService"
    wsdl="
    http://www.flash-mx.com/ws/months.cfc?wsdl">
    <mx:operation name="getMonths"
    resultFormat="object"
    result="getMonths_result(event);"

    </mx:WebService>

  • Cfc error when using Flex and RemoteObject (cross post)

    I have Flex 3.0.214193 and CF 8,0,0,176276 and Oracle
    10.2.0.3.
    I've been search for several days for an answer to this one.
    There is very little out there about this type of error, but then
    there is very little about any problems with Flex and ColdFusion.
    In Flex, I have two comment fields. the .cfc has two update
    functions that update the comments, because they are in two
    different tables. The first update works like a champ. The second
    one consistantly shows this error in the CF application log: The
    NEWENGREMARK parameter to the updateEng function is required but
    was not passed in. I've used the Alert.Show to verify that Flex
    does have a value in that variable when it calls the .cfc. I've
    even tried passing the first variable that worked in the first
    update, and even a litteral value. Everything yields the same
    cryptic error message. I must be looking at the wrong thing.
    The only things I've found on the web about this, say the
    variables should have a scope (is that a scope in Flex or in the
    .cfc) and the column names should be in upper case (because it's
    Oracle).
    Here's the .cfc code (is that where the error is, or is it in
    Flex?). The UpdateDescription function works, but the UpdateEng
    doesn't.
    Thanks for any help, or spelling errors you can point out.
    Scott

    Ian,
    I also heard about the case thing. So I tried everything in
    upper case and lower case - same thing. In my experimenting, I
    tried adding the newENGRemark parameter to the descriptionUpdate
    function call, I didn't do anything with it is the .cfc just
    declared it as required. In that case the parameter exists and
    everything is fine. But in the call to the UpdateEng, it doesn't
    exist.
    I changed the .cfc so that the newENGRemark was not required
    or had a default. In both cases the .cfc just skipped to the next
    parameter and said it didn't exist. But I was passing a litteral,
    it wasn't even a variable.
    I created a .cfm page that did a cfinvoke on the .cfc, and
    passed it two litterals. That worked fine. So that makes it look
    like some sort of syntax error in the Flex. So I deleted the call
    to the UpdateENG, copied the UpdateDescription call (because it
    works), changed just the minimum to make it work, but it didn't
    work.
    I think I am going to restructure the database so that I can
    do what I need to with just one update function, that seems to
    work.
    It still doesn't make any sense.

  • Getting started with flex and Eclipse 3.1?

    Hi all,
    Im a java Eclipse RCP developer and I wanted to work on some small apps using flex.
    I have been searching around on the web for instructions on how to get everything set up, but most of them seem to skip a  few steps.
    I am using Eclipse ganymede (3.1), and have downloaded the flex sdk.  Is there a plugin or something for flex that creates the proper perspectives in eclipse?  Or what exactly do I need to do?
    Also, I see that flex uses mxml, if I want to use flex and java as opposed to flex and php or coldfusion (the only examples I saw) is that possible?  I guess Im slightly confused as to what exactly I am writing this app in... java?  Actionscript?  Php? ??
    Basically my goal is this:
    Use eclipse 3.1 (not flex builder)
    Write an RIA that can also use AIR
    Connect to a MySQL database on the backend
    I have very little experience (or need) for J2EE, but maybe I should use it?
    Can anyone point me to a good tutorial that will get me going to achieve my goal?  Or tell me what exactly I need to install, and how to put it together?
    Thank you!

    You need Flex Builder plugin version.

  • Flex preventing ColdFusion server from logging exceptions!

    Hello all,
    Whenever I invoke a CFC from Flex, if the CFC throws an
    exception, that exception is not logged in the ColdFusion server
    logs. I built an html page that invokes the same page, and when the
    exception is thrown it is indeed logged on the server.
    Why is Flex preventing ColdFusion from logging the
    exceptions!?

    I've never realized that but you can add a cflog tag to your
    CFC or debug the error taking a look at the stacktrace withing FB
    debugger.

  • Problem in creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePD

    I need a favor I am creating client side PDF with image using flex and AlivePDF for a web based application. Images have been generated on that pdf but it is creating problem for large size images as half of the image disappeared from that pdf.I am taking the image inside a canvas . How do i control my images so that they come fit on that pdf file for any image size that i take.
    Thanks in advance
    Atishay

    I am having a similar and more serious problem. It takes a
    long time to execute, but even attaching a small image balloons the
    pdf to 6MB plus. After a few images it gets up to 20MB. These are
    100k jpeg files being attached. The resulting PDF is too large to
    email or process effectively. Does anyone know how to reduce
    size/processing?

  • Flex and Java on Desktop

    Hi
    We are having this requirement , we want to develop a
    application using flex for adobe AIR runtime which will communicate
    with java in the desktop, we are not having any servers here, so
    flex application want to communicate with java classes with out the
    help of any server so I can't use httpservice, webservice or
    remoting .
    I like to know the ways to communicate from flex 3.0(Adobe
    AIR) to java files (java takes care of splitting PowerPoint
    files and converting it into serious of jpeg files, and
    creating ppt files from the objects returned from flex ).
    Is there any other way to communicate form between flex and
    java in the desktop ??? please give inputs
    Thiru

    Hi,
    you could use XMLSocket or Socket classes depending on the
    type of communication you want to stablish.
    I have been testing this for a while although not for a
    project.
    However my impression is that you need to install the AIR app
    which is self-extracted and installed, but in second hand, you have
    to install the Java app, that acts as a server, and it must be
    executed every time your AIR app is, and the other way around.
    Untill now I haven't got any idea on doing this without too
    much work, but you can take a look at the Merapi project.
