If i cahnge this graphs to png or jpg format the do display however out whole app uses flash graphs...any idea how i fix this? Update 5 has to be installed on our server due to teh requirements of an internal pen test!

    Why does CF Flash not work in IE11 now when it did before the CF hot fix 5 update?

    Hi,

               We have tried pointing CF to jdk 1.8.0_112 and 1.8.0_144, it worked fine for us. Code which we used is as below

    <cfchart format="flash" chartHeight="400" chartWidth="600" showLegend="no" title="chart" >

           <cfchartseries type="pie">

    <cfchartdata item="Day 1" value="19.2"/>

    <cfchartdata item="Day 2" value="15.2"/>

    <cfchartdata item="Day 3" value="15.1"/>

           </cfchartseries>

    </cfchart>

    Please share the repro code with us, so that we can investigate on this. If you still face this issue please log a bug.

    Thanks,

    Dattanand Bhat

    I have JDK 1.8.0_144 installed on the windows 2012 R2 server. I have tried the code above and its still does not work just a blank page when flash is set as the char format. Again when i set this to jpg or png the graph displays perfectly.

    Do i need to point CF to use JDK 1.8.0_144?

    You have to configure CF to use the different version of Java. Log into the CF Admin and use the Java and JVM settings. Change the path here.

    As per the cfchart docs:

    FORMAT="flash" HAS BEEN DEPRECATED in Adobe ColdFusion (2016 release).

    Normally they leave it in a bit longer but as updates happen things just suddenly disappear.
