connecting Flex & ColdFusion

Hi, I am trying to connect CF & Flex with remoting. I got flex set up for remoting, and I have this flex code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="initApp()">   <mx:Script>     <![CDATA[              import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;       import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;              [Bindable]       private var acArtists:ArrayCollection;              private function initApp() :void {         ArtistGateway_RO.getArtist();       }              private function getArtistsRO_Handler(event:ResultEvent):void {         acArtists = ArrayCollection(event.result);       }     ]]>   </mx:Script>         <mx:RemoteObject id="ArtistGateway_RO" destination = "ColdFusion" source ="com.cfcs.ArtistGateway">     <mx:method name="getArtists" result = "getArtistsRO_Handler(event)" />   </mx:RemoteObject>      <mx:DataGrid dataProvider = "{acArtists}" right="10" left="10" top="10" bottom="10">   </mx:DataGrid>    </mx:Application> my cfc is located in localhost/com/cfcs/ArtistgateWay.cfc <cfcomponent output="false">   <cffunction name="getArtists" access="remote" returntype="query">       <cfset var qRead = "" />                  <cfquery datasource="cfartgallery" name="qRead">             SELECT artistid, firstanme, lastname, email             FROM artists         </cfquery>                  <cfreturn qRead />     </cffunction> </cfcomponent> when I run the appication I get an flash player error saying can't find coldfusion component? Am I doing something wrong? Flex is looking at com as http://localhost/com right ? Thanks so much, Johnny

Hi Paul, Thanks so much for your help! the file is locate in the webroot (not sure if this is  a best practice, but just on localhost for testing) /Documents/Library/WebServer/com/cfcs/ArtistGateway.cfc (http://localhost/com/cfcs/ArtistGateway.cfc) I have not set any mappings, and I have checked in services-config.xml and mappings are set to true. I think that Flex is looking for a function getArtist, but the method is getArtists. I wrote a blog on this,maybe the blog is more clear, and I have tested the cfc which is working properly too: http://hawaiiflash.net/blog/post.cfm/database-results-flex Thanks so much!

Hi paul, Thanks so very much!! I looked at the code over and over and never saw this silly error:( I even wrote a full blog post saying that flex did not like plural methods of maybe it was a caching issue, but I see it was a sill typo of mine:) I change this little error and all works, I can't thank you enough`-` Here is the post if you are interested: http://hawaiiflash.net/blog/post.cfm/database-results-flex I did manage to learn how to use the Alerts to post the error. I feel pretty good that I am finally getting Flex & CF a little, but it is a slow process for me! Thanks again, Johnny`-` ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- }
