Unable to use Flash with CF 7 and IIS6

[Protheus]

Hello all,

I have been having this problem for like two weeks now and I am close of dumping coldfusion and IIS.

I have installed Windows 2003 server (standard) and installed IIS6.

Then I installed SQl server 2000 with Sp4.

Then I installed Coldfusion standard 7, and specified during the installation that I woudl like to use IIS on all websites.

All is wel.

Then in IIS i create a new Website and give it a name and assign a port to is and then point to the dir where the files are located.

SO then I created a .cfm page with the following: -------------------------------------------------------------- <cfform action="/Blank.cfm" method="post" format="flash" > <cfinput type="text" name="Test" value="" size="50"> <br> <input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit">

</cfform>

--------------------------------------------------------------

This is all done in dreamweaver as I created a new site and testing server. I upload the file and view in Avantbrowser/IE and what do i get !! a white screen !!!

So then I restarted the Coldfusion and IIS services - removed the connectors and recreated the connectors (cf7dir\bin\connectors\)

And then When I look in IIS I see two additional directories called: - CFIDE - CFdocs

I refresh and restart again IIS and coldfusion but still I get a blank screen.

Can someone please please help me on this af I have been truggeling for like two weeks now and unable to use anu flash forms with coldfusion !

when using FlashForms, you need to specify height and width attributes in your cfform tag. Also, if your form is in a table, if you don't specify height and width attributes in the <td> tag the form will not show up in IE (but it does in FireFox).



Hope This Helps!

After browsing like hundreds forums I also created a virtual directory in IIS website and linked it to:

cfdir/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1

and then in administrator page of CF7 in the settinsg tab I adjusted the Default CFFORM Scriptsrc Directory to: /CFIDE/SCRIPTS/

And then recreated the connections and finaly it works


Man Tnx alot !
