The root folder must contain a WEB-INF/flex folder.

1. I do not have cold fusion and cannot have it.

2. I do not use Java, but use .NET



When I try to build a flex project I receive this error and
cannot continue on in the dialogue box: "The root folder must
contain a WEB-INF/flex folder." I have researched and some say to
copy a file from CF---which wont work for me because I dont have
it. Others say it has to do with JRUN. I dont intend to use JAVA on
the back end. I dont know what the fix is here, and it seems no one
has my particular issue. With all the postings on the NEt, I am
surprised Adobe hasnt addressed this issue. I am using Flex Builder
2 and am working thru the tutorial lessons in the application. I
have come to the data management chapter and this is where I get
stuck. Does anyone know?

Then you can NOT use the Flash Remoting/ColdFusion option.
You will be

constrained to use the other data options such as web
services, XML,

HTTP, ect.



You will just have to skip the ColdFusion centered tutorials.
Go on to

the other data service options.

ok; i talked my boss into it; i have downloaded the developer
edition of CF. I followed instructions on installing the CF
extensions in Flex. but I am still getting the error.....

It says it must contain the folder WEB-INF/flex folder." The
folder is there!!! Why cant it find it. Is it looking for it
somewhere besides HERE?



C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex

The easiest, but not necessarily the quickest, is to
reinstall. Doing

ColdFusion first then Flex. Then the Flex install will
configure itself

with what it sees.



But you do not NEED ColdFusion. There are plenty of ways to
use Flex

without it. You just don't use the AMF Flex Remoting version
used with

ColdFusion. You can use Java or web services or XML HTTP/Rest


functionality to access data as well.

Are you trying to set up a ColdFusion flex project or a Flex
Data

Services project.



Or are you using Flex 3, which I think changes how this all
works.
