Question

flash pages not generating output on coldfusion 8

    I'm trying to move a web site from coldfusion mx 7 (7,0,0,91690 standard) to coldfusion 8 (8,0,1,196946).  I did a fresh install of 8 on a new box and copied the documents from the old web root to the new one.  Everything works except for flash forms.  They don't work at all on the coldfusion 8 system, no errors displayed, no errors in the logs, and no output.

    CFIDE is mapped and CFIDE/scripts/cfforms.js can be accessed via a browser.  Any ideas?

    Flash forms.  There are a lot of pages with a lot of code but here's a demo I've been using as a test case:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>flash form test</title>
</head>

<body>

<cfform name="myform" height="220" width="400" format="Flash" >
    <!--- Use text formitem tag with style specifications for the heading. --->
    <cfformitem type="text" style="fontWeight:bold; fontSize:14;">
    Flash form with formatted text and rules
    </cfformitem>
    <!--- The spacer adds space between the text and the rule --->
    <cfformitem type="spacer" height="2" />
    <cfformitem type="hrule" />
    <cfformitem type="html">
        <b><font color="#FF0000" size="+4" face="serif">
        This form has formatted text, including:</font></b><br>
        <textformat blockindent="20" leading="2">
            <li>colored text</li>
            <li><i>italic and bold text</i></li>
            <li>a bulleted list in an indented block</li>
        </textformat>
        <p><b>The text is preceded and followed by horizontal rules</b></p>
        It also has a link to a web page.</b><br>
        <a href="http://www.adobe.com/" target="_blank">
        <font color="#0000FF"><u>This link displays the Adobe home page in a new browser window</u></font></a>
    </cfformitem>
    <cfformitem type="spacer" height="2"/>
    <cfformitem type="hrule"/>
</cfform>
