Question

Flash related tags not displaying output

Has anybody found a problem with tags that use flash format output not displaying (CFGrid, CFForm, CFChart etc.)
Any page containing one of these hangs as if trying to load. The flash box is there but is just a white square with no content. For CFChart, if I change the format to jpg I just get the place holder with no graphic. /CFIDE is properly mapped and I have tried directly referencing the scripts with <script> tags. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Our Configuration:
Windows 2003 server IIS SSL
Coldfusion 8,0,1,195765 Standard Edition configured for IIS
Java Version 1.6.0_04
JVM 10.0-b19

    Have you absolutely confiremed that /CFIDE directory is available. You
    should be able to go to http://your.website.ext//CFIDE/scripts/.... in a
    browser. And get the proper files.


    If this is all fine, there is a rarer possibility. Web servers are
    normally configured to hand off all requests for ColdFusion request,
    whether what is requested actually exists or not. It is then up to CF
    to determine if what was requested exists and handle thing appropriately.

    But sometimes this is done differently and the Web server is configured
    to check for the existence of all resources before handing them off to
    ColdFusion. The problem with this, is that some of what ColdFusion does
    with things like Flash forms is create these resources on the fly and
    pass them directly back to the web server without they actually existing
    any place accept in memory. So when the web server looks it finds
    nothing and fails.

    There are fixes for this, but I can not guide you beyond this overall
    description that will hopefully guide you in your searching.

    Thanks for your response. I have checked that /CFIDE is accessible and in IIS, all the isapi filters for CF have the "Verify the file exists" unchecked as they are supposed to. Any other thoughts?

    I now have this same problem - I suspect it's Flash 10. My CFchart worked for 3 years on IE6, IE7, FF2 and 3. Now nothing since upgrading to Flash 10. Shows that the movie is not found when right mouse clicking on where the chart should be. I've verified that I can browse to CFIDE/scripts directory and can open js files no problem.. Using same config as kleymeer.

    How can we get this fixed?
