Setting up a coldfusion project in Flex

This is my first time using flex to connect to coldfusion.
I've got the following configuration:
1) Development XP with Flex 3/Adobe CS3
2) Linux webserver running coldfusion 8/MySQL
Up until this point, I have been doing my development on the
XP box and sending my code to the linux server through RDS.
I've got RDS configured on the Flex 3 environment and that
seems to be working ok.
However, when I tried to do file->new>flex project and
set the application server type to Coldfusion I run into problems.
On the second page I have standalone or deployed to J2EE
server.
The next line is "Use default location for local Coldfusion
server" which I deselect (I'm not sure what the default location
really is though...) and set the location to the path
/opt/coldfusion8 which is mapped via samba to z:\coldfusion
Next is the "use built-in coldfusion server". Does this mean
that there is a coldfusion server installed as part of the flex 3
environment?? Anyway, I deselected this option and used the path
z:\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex but it still asks for the flex-config.xml
which is in that directory and I can browse to it just fine. I'm
not sure what they are asking for on the root URL, I assume where
the actual code will be stored which I have yet another mapping for
that one which is y:\testcf.
I browsed through the forum and found the following article
which spurred me to set up samba for the flex-config.xml file.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=60&catid=585&threadid =1359075&highlight_key=y&keyword1=coldfusion
Anyone have any insight on what might be the issue?
Thanks.

I just built a windows IIS/coldfusion 8 server and had no
issues building the connection. Is the linux unsupported in flex?
It shouldn't be if it is...

Importing tlf project in flex builder

I can't find flex project for tlf in development folder. Could anybody guide me how to build tlf swc using flex/flash builder.
Chetan Sachdev

A Flash Builder project to build textLayout.swc is not currently available in Subversion... just an Ant script, which is the official way to build it. None of the projects in the 'development' folder are an officially supported part of the Flex SDK; for example, they don't appear in ZIP'd builds of the Flex SDK. We try to maintain them but sometimes they drift out of sync with the Ant scripts or have other issues.
If the community wants to contribute a project, I think we'd be willing to add it to the repository.
In the meantime, you'll have to set up your own project and populate it with the source code.

Design view not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the issue.

How to import existing ColdFusion project in the eclipse.

Hi All,
I have exiting ColdFusion project in my local drive and I want to import it in Eclipse. I already have CFEclipse installed in Eclipse. Is there any step by step instruction to do this?
Thanks

You should be able to copy the folder into your Eclipse workspace folder, then go to File--New--Project and select CFML Project (under CFEclipse).
If it is an existing Eclipse project, e.g. there is already a .project file in the folder, you can follow the steps at Importing Existing Projects.

Shifting Flex project from Flex SDK 3.5 to Flex SDK 4.0

Hi,
I am currently working on a Flex project using Flex 3.5 SDK. I want to shift my project to Flex 4.0 SDK.
When I changed the project settings to use SDK 4.0, I got lot of unknown location errors.
1) 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: ImportExportConfiguration
2) 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setSelection through a reference with static type mx.core.ITextInput
While the same code of flex was working satisfactorily in Flex SDK 3.5.
Please tell, how can I get rid of these error and successfully shift my project to Flex SDK 4.0.

Hi,
While I am migrating my project from flex 3.5 to Flex 4, I have to keep the Flex 3 compatibility mode off and theme as Flex 4 default theme that is Spark.

What is the resolution for these, as for most of the controls there is no substitute to these properties. If I do not want ot change my <mx:> controls to <s:>controls because it will hamper my UI look and field, which I cannot afford to do.
I have added following lines at the beginning of my stylesheet (*.CSS) as well:
     @namespace "http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
    @namespace "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx";
    @namespace s "library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark";
     Button { .... }
     ........ / * other styles */
Please help me on this.

Set default timezone to UTC in Flex?

Hello,
is there any way of setting the local timezone of my Flex application to UTC?
I am aware of all the UTC related functions in the Date class, so that's not what I am interested in.

Setting intital data in Workspace embedded Flex Application

I created 2 processes, one has an embedded Flex application in it. My first process has an output of type XML that is passed to the 2nd process using events. I have attached an Event Message Template to the Event so i can drill down into the data schema. I am able to receive and see the XML data in the receiving process. My Flex application is set to data type Form and has its own schema associated. What I am trying to do using the SetValue service is set some of the values in the Flex schema to the values of the XML data received from the first process.
My Flex application has an "initialDataHandler" function that receives a DataEvent event from LC Workspace. Using the SetValue service and drilling down into the schema doesn't seem to set the DataEvent event data of the Flex App.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to set the initial data of the Flex App so the data will be pre-populated when a user opens up the application?
Thanks,

Mike,
I double checked with engineering and this cannot be done. I though that creating a custom render service would work, but it wont since it has to return a document variable and we can only change the data of a swf when its in a Form variable. And there is no way to go from Form to document variable because one contains the content and the other one is only a pointer.
You can define default data on the variable settings under Default Data, but this data is essentially hard coded, which is not ideal.
Youre only option at this point is to populate from the formInitData event in the swf form which can call a database or a web service.
Engineering will make that Default Data a variable in a next release of the product which should get you across this problem but nothing to help us now.
Sorry for the confusion.

Field not set: ParentEPSObjectId when creating Project.

Hi everyone,
I'm developing .net application and getting data from primavera by using p6 web service. At the moment I stuck on project creation. I'm using following code to create a new project:
Public Function CreateOneProject(pProjectName As String, pProjectId As String, pParentEpsObjectId As Integer, pPlannedStart As Date, pPlannedFinish As Date, pParentOBSObjectId As Integer) As Integer
     Dim vNewProject As Project()
     vNewProject = New Project(0) {}
     Dim vProject As New Project()
     vProject.Name = pProjectName
     vProject.Id = pProjectId
     vProject.ParentEPSObjectId = pParentEpsObjectId
     vProject.StartDate = pPlannedStart
     vProject.FinishDate = pPlannedFinish
     vProject.OBSObjectId = pParentOBSObjectId
     vNewProject(0) = vProject
     Dim retVal As Integer() = gProjectService.CreateProjects(vNewProject)
     Return retVal(0)
End Function
And getting error message: Field not set:ParentEPSObjectId when creating Project.
EPS Object ID i'm selecting from lookup. In this lookup datasource I have following fields from ReadEPS: ObjectId, Name, Id, ParentObjectID.
As I understood, I should to get ObjectID of selected EPS and to set as parameter in CreateOneProject function. But it's not working.
Could someone help me?
Best regards,

I found what was the problem.
Did not specify following field: ParentEPSObjectIdSpecified = true. With this field I can save.

I have dumped the browser's cache and deleted the SWF in the bin_debug folder.
Still get a blank page. Only way to see changes is to compile.
What gives?

2. Close project --> Clean project.
3. Ensure there are no more errors in project.

Will BC eventually include Coldfusion and/or Flex?

My understanding is that BC web sites are .NET based. Will BC sites eventually include Coldfusion and/or Flex servers?
Having spent many hours learning and building rich Internet applications using Coldfusion and Flex, hard to believe an Adobe-hosted web site system (BC) would be solely .NET based.

Hi Ahande2!
Unfortunately not in the near future and at this stage.
The BC Sytstem is a SAAS (Software as a Service) and this system is a .net based system.
You have NO access to server side code so you can not run any PHP, Java, Coldfusion, .net code on your sites.
If you need any custom functionality etc you can use the ever expanding API of the system.

Need advice on setting up a new project

Hello,
I'm creating a rather complicated project in flash and as3 and would like some advice on how I should set it up.
It requires a login and based on the information the user puts in the login, I need to build a drop down menu.
While logging into the program, the user has to select from one of three categories and one of 10 locations. The main buttons for the drop down are dictated by the categories, each of these buttons have specific modules which will go under each topic.
example:
category1
category2
category3
category1 uses buttons catA catB catC
category2 uses buttons catA catB
category3 uses buttons catA catC
under cata
module 1
module 2
module 3
module 4
under catb
module 1
module 2
module 3
under catc
module 1
module 2
module 3
module 4
module 5
module 6
module 7
Based on the location the user chooses, a module may have to be added under cata and/or catb and/or catc
The user can click on the buttons in the drop down to skip to different modules, but if they do not it will play in order. Each module has a video, once the video is complete there is an activity/quiz (each of the activities are quite different). Once the activity/quiz is complete, the next module loads until they reach the final module and a lovely final quiz.
Any advice on how to set up a complicated project would be great I've spent a couple of days hunting online and looking at/ trying examples, but all I did was confuse myself.

Tutorial for creating a J2EE project with "Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 " ?

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a Flex environment with:
Flex Builder 3 Beta 3 stand alone
WTP (from eclipse update manager)
LCDS 2.5 (with JRun)
JBoss 4.2.2GA
At this moment I successful installed everything (but not set up). I added WTP at Flex Builder3 (with the eclipse update manager). I copied the two flex-tomcat files in jboss.
Then in Flex Builder 3 I created a new Flex Project. In the wizard first window, I selected J2EE, Livecycle and WTP. Then in the next window I need to configurate the J2EE server.
I couldn't find any information/tutorial for this window? Is there a tutorial for this?
This window ask me:
Target Runtime: I created a new one for JBoss 4.2.2 (during this process flex builder asked me to add a project but actually I'm creating this project so I hadn't any project to add (??)).
ContextRoot: name of the project I'm creating (default). Is it good?
Content Folder: the default is "WebContent". Is it good?
Flex War File: What is that? Where do I find it?
Thanks a lot,
Jerome

The settings you mention all sound fine, but the I believe the Flex War file may be what you referred to as the flex-tomcat files (specifically the one should be called flex.war from the install folder).
You don't need to deploy the flex.war file to JBoss manually, when you create a project, you just select the file in the wizard and it is extracted and used as a template for the new project. In fact, it may cause a port conflict with your project if you do deploy manually it (unless you tweak some of the config files), so it's probably worth removing it from the deploy folder if you did put it there. The other file, flex-admin.war, can stay without causing issue.
The closest to a tutorial that I am aware of is if you search "New Flex Project" in the help system, it talks about what each of the options should be when creating LCDS projects.
