CF11 Actionscript 3 - I'm migratiing from AS2 and can't use REMOTING, so how to use cfc's and process their results?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 04:58:49 GMT

The CF11 integration notes describe how to do use Flash Remoting. I use that in my AS2 code and it works fine. I'm trying to migrate to AS3 where there is no Remoting. I have done the following:

import flash.net.*;
import flash.events.*;

var CFCService = new NetConnection()
CFCService.objectEncoding = 0;
CFCService.connect("http://localhost:8500/flashservices/gateway/")

var responder2 = new Responder(getActiveUsers_Result, onFault);
CFCService.call("cfc.SyslockComponents.getActiveUsers", responder2);

stop();

function getActiveUsers_Result(result:Object):void
{
    trace("getActiveUsers Result Status: " + result.STATUS);
    for (var property:String in result)
    {
        trace(property +" : " +result[property]);
    }

}

The OUTPUT of my program shows the contents of the STRUCT returned by the CFC:

getActiveUsers Result Status: ALLOK <<<<<< the CFC completed successfully
RECCOUNT : 1 <<<<<<<< There was one record select by query
DETAILS : [object Object] /<<<<<< this contains the query results
STATUS : ALLOK

I don't know how to process DETAILS because RECORDSET is not available in AS3.

CF9 Report Builder: Hardcopy only has watermark, no detail

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 23:43:29 GMT

I'm committing the sin of putting this question to multiple forums but I'm hoping a different audience might give an answer as I'm on a dealine to produce this report.

I'm working on a workstation which has a CF9 Developer Edition Server and I installed CF9 Report Builder to develop a hardcopy report and when I test it, I see on screen the report details together with a watermark:

Adobe ColdFusion Developer/Trial Edition
Not for Production Use

When I print the the report, I only get the watermark???!!!

cf8 vs cf9

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 01:12:16 GMT

Our small environment: We run a system based on a series of Flash 8 programs (AS2) talking to an Access DB (soon to move to MySQL) via Flash Remoting and CF8 on a local server and we use CF8's built-in web server but no browser (therefore no HTML).

We want to move to cf9 STANDARD but I'm concerned about 2 features which are only in Enterprise:

Server-side printing

FlashPaper generation

What do these mean? If I don't have Enterprise, a flash program can't output a report to printers attached to the server or in the local network? We do this a lot.

We currently have licenses for FlashPaper2. Does this mean we can't create FlashPaper doc's in CF9 Standard?

I can't find explanations for these "features", the help desk were unable to explain, the Sales people ask you to leave messages and don't get back.

So, I figured I'd dowload CF9 and install it on a test system on a 30 day trial. Of course, the only version it will install is Enterprise so I can't test what we want to purchase.

Can anyone help me here?

Checking is CF Server is alive

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 03:44:01 GMT

The first thing my Flash 8 app does is to call a cfc. If, for some reason, the CF Server is not running, the app will "hang" waiting for a response. Is there some way for my app to tell whether the CF Server is running so that an appropriate message can be displayed?

Report Builder problem?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 07:06:34 GMT

I have a flash application which I exported as a windows projector so that it runs in Flash Player. It uses a data source via cf8. I've created several reports using report builder and their cfr's are kept in c:/cf8/wwwroot/reports. When I'm logged onto the server, the application and reporting all works well but if I run the application from another windows desktop, the applications is fine but reports all fail saying they can't find their cfr's. I'm running as the domain administrator so there shouldn't be access restrictions but it's got me stumped.

Problem with Art Sales example

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 01:34:11 GMT

I"m trying to get my head around this product but am stopped at the "Add the calculated field to your report" section. Point 1 says to "Insert a field in the LASTNAME Footer band" but there is no footer showing for LASTNAME, only a header and I've retraced my steps in case I missed something.

The report structure I have is:

Report Header

Page Header

Column Header

LASTNAME

Header

Detail

Page Footer

How do I create LASTNAME Footer?

Flash 8 AS2 - How to get round the asynchronous structure

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:21:54 GMT

I use CFC's via CF8 to interact with an Access db. In 1 screen (swf) of my application, I have to update up to 7 records depending on whether a screen field was filled in and each of these updates is an identical activity. Ideally, my code might look something like this:

for(var i = 1; i < 8; i++)

{

if (fieldi != "")

{

update_record (using key in fieldi);

}

I want to check that each update has completed successfully before continuing with the next but the loop won't wait for a return from the update_record function before continuing on.

How can I achieve my objective?

Flash 8: Strange swf-in-swf behaviour

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 04:25:21 GMT

My application consists of a number of screens/swf's which layer on top of each other.

layer 0 - user sign-in

layer 900 - mainmenu

layer 910 - transaction A part 1

layer 920 - transaction A part 2

So, a successful sign-in calls in mainmenu.swf and selection of transaction A-1 calls that swf in. Then, interaction with transaction A-1 leads to loading the A-2 swf and that's where the "strangeness" exists. A-1 has a grid and a listener for that grid. When A-2 loads and you click anywhere on the screen that the A-1 grid would have covered, the A-1 listener responds! I'm surprised by that but perhaps that's my ignorance, is it?

Flash 8 AS2 How to trap a connection failure?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 03:33:16 GMT

I am building a Flash application which uses Flash Remoting and CFC's to connect clients to CF8 data sources on an in-house server (no Web involved!). I have a number of screens working fine but I'm now working to tighten up the code, in particular the area of error detection. The one area I can't seem to conquer is detecting if the server connection is down. All I get (when testing) is the "Error opening URL..." message in the output window. How can I trap this in the code?

Flash8 AS2 - Searching a datagrid

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 06:47:54 GMT

I have a 2 column datagrid which is loaded via flashremoting. I can work with cells when they are clicked, using a listener, but I need to search a column for a string and I can't seem to find the syntax on the web (or perhaps I don't understand what I'm seeing). I'm sure it isn't difficult but if someone could point the way, I'd be most appreciative.

Flash form basics (NOT cfform)

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 01:13:00 GMT

When you are learning, one of the many problems you have is getting the terminology right. I've searched the web extensively and most of the discussion about flash forms is related to cfform. I'm experimenting with the creation of forms in Flash 8 (document = Flash Form Application) and there does not seem to be a lot of documentation around on the subject. With this technology, I build a "tree" of forms, the top level of which is the "Application container", which are either sibling or child with the latter inheriting content and structure from the parent. So far, I have 2 siblings, one of which has a child form, and they contain various fields, buttons, etc. If I test the movie, it loads the first form, overlays the second form and then the third form. This seems to be the asynchronous nature of Flash but there must be a way of telling it to display the first form and then stop and await further instructions such as a button press. Can anyone help me with this and/or point me to a relevant tutorial?

Where are the logfiles?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 05:11:33 GMT

I've been using the CF8 server on my desktop to develop my skills (still a work in progress!) using flash remoting. I was helped by the logfiles available in CF8:

application.log
eventgateway.log
exception.log
flash.log
server.log

Now, to replicate the production environment, I've set up an XP server which uses IIS in plave of the CF8 server. I got all my "practice" applications running again and it all looks good but when I fire up the cf administrator, the only logfiles available are eventgateway.log and server.log. Where are the others?

How is it done?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 05 May 2009 01:31:53 GMT

I'm a learner of Flash and I've completed some simple things but now I'm trying to understand how the media controller is made to float over the flashpaper movie in the flashpaper demo from the Adobe site. I'm suspect that this is a trivial exercise to many in this audience and can therefore be explained in simple terms for me.

Tutorial Confusion

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 23:46:37 GMT

I'm following the "ColdFusion 8 Getting Experience Tutorial" and I'm on page 30 where I add cfquery tags. The example works fine without the tags but with them my Firefox browser give the error:

No value given for one or more required parameters.

I've attached the first part of my code so that someone else might show me my error.
