CF8 install to work with Flex 3

Hi,

From your Flex application, you want to use the RemoteObject MXML tag (<mx:RemoteObject />). As long as Flash Remoting is available in the CFAdmin, which you indicated it is, it should work. I've done/do this running CF8 on Mac OS X, Linux, and Win 2003.

Here's a sample of MXML code for this.

<mx:Application xmlns:mx=" http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.controls.Alert;

[Bindable]
private var myAC:ArrayCollection;

//runs on creationComplete event of mx:Application tag
private function init():void{
this.ro.getAll();// call the method on your CFC when app inits
}

private function gotEm(event:ResultEvent):void{
myAC = new ArrayCollection();
myAC.source = event.result as Array;
}
private function oops(event:FaultEvent):void{
Alert.show(event.fault.toString());
}
]]>
</mx:Script>

// the remote object, which connects to CF via FlashRemoting
<mx:RemoteObject id="ro" destination="ColdFusion" source="webroot.appfolder.cfcfolder.cfcname">
<mx:method name="getAll" fault="oops(event)" result="getEm(event)" />
</mx:RemoteObject>

// DataGrid to hold results..naturally you would make this nicer :)
<mx:DataGrid id="dg" dataProvider="{myAC}"/>
</mx:Application>

Have you tried similar code? It's often helpful to see some code you're having trouble with, if that's possible.

Hope this helps!
