Whenever I make a new Flex project it always asks me "Server Type". So far I have always checked "none", Although my server type is PHP and I usually access .php scripts to get information from data-bases just fine with server type not set. So what is server-type for? what does it do for me? if I can get some extra benefits from it I want to do that.
Thanks.
When you create a Flex application, you are asked the server type so that Flex can properly configure itself for your Application server, not web server. This is only if you're Flex application is going to be backed by an application server. In your case, you're just calling some PHP scripts and don't require full blown application server support.

I'm using spring with flex (with IDE flash builder 4.6)
I have this error The target execution of WebSphere Application Server v7.0 is not defined. please where should I configure the server
thanks for helping
Sounds like you're running into a problem using FB's application server integration. I don't even remember FB supporting WebSphere.
It's getting hard to remember how this used to be done, but I know we never used to use this type of functionality in Flash Builder. It's possible to deploy your mid-tier app in Tomcat (or WAS), start that, and then run/debug your Flex app which connects to that independently started server.
Depending on how it connects (Blaze/Granite remoting, REST, etc) it may be harder or easier to do that, but the point is that I'm sure you don't need to use this functionality in FB.
If you still want to try using that functionality, I'm pretty sure the configuration is somewhere in that list on the left side of the dialog posted, but again I never bothered with it.
I'm trying to resolve a Flex remote object Coldfusion call. I'm getting the following error.
[MessingError message='Destination 'ColdFusion' either does not exist or the destination has no channels defined (and the application does not define any default channels.)']
When I access my CFC through a cfm page, they work. Due to the way the servers are configured, I'm having issues setting up flex with a coldfusion service when I create a new project because I'm developing on a machine, but have to push everything to the server where CF is located. I'm also wondering if the way CF is setup may be an issue. The company is running Coldfusion from the c:\inetpub directory with IIS and out of the same webroot directory they are running WordPress/MySQL (6 WP sites to be exact). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I will also add that when I create the flex project I can not set ColdFusion as the web server whether local (1.This machine doesn't run a local instance due to office permissions) and 2.) They don't have the J2EE setup.
The first thing I would check is what you get when you go to: http://www.domain.com/flex2gateway. That should give you a blank page, but if you get anything else (such as a 404) the flex gateway isn't running.
The other thing to make sure is that you set your services compiler argument on flash builder to the coldfusion services-config.xml file in the WEB-INF/flex directory.
-services c:/Coldfusion/wwwroot/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml
I have zero knowledge on flex and need help to determine what is preventing my web service from being called.
We have a working application in production and the developer who wrote it has left.
I am trying to build it on my machine and I can see a web service call in fiddler being made with the URL "/Services.asmx/MethodName" (as a GET request).
I have set my break point in the asmx web service and it is not being hit. All I get in the flex front end is a pop up with " The remote server failed to respond and may be offline. http://MachineName/Services.asmx/MethodName"
The web service is in the same application as the web app that hosts the SWF file.
I have the cross domain policy file in place.
What I noticed in fiddler is the URL is "/Services.asmx/MethodName" and not "/WebApp/Services.asmx/MethodName" (not sure if this makes a difference) where WebApp is the IIS virtual directory to the web application that hosts the SWF.
Any ideas?

If you are Web-services and your web-application is same domain then just pass the whole path like "http://..../Services.asmx" for creating web-service api instance in ActionScript 3.0 (for flex). and use this instance name to call your web-service method.

Our Test web server recently went down and we lost COM+ Applications installations. I am trying to reinstall the COM Applications. I have the installed the COM Applications and have the Identity set to run as Local Service. I have Security set to Perform access checks at the process and component level. The activation type is Server Application.
Environment:
Windows Server 2003
Classic ASP
I have verified that ASP is installed and works. I get a 500 Internal Server error when the page gets to a point to call CreateObject.
There must be a security setting somewhere that I am missing. I have tried giving Local Service Account and Network Service account full permissions on the root folder housing the .dll's.
Can't pinpoint it because the possible causes are legion.
There should be a setting in ASP that will report the HRESULT of the failed CreateObject call, instead of a useless 500 - Internal Error. From there, it should be easier to go on.
Aren't you unsure about LocalService, too? Shouldn't it be NetworkService instead?
Sorry that this is rather meager.
Found the problem. We had to go into IIS, view the website properties, go to the Home Directory, Click on Configuration and then the Options tab and finally check the "Enable Parent Path" checkbox.
I've got a flex app that hits a remote SOAP service and populates a list with the results.
It works fine when i run it through flex builder, but when i compile the application and move it onto a webserver it can't access the services.
I've tried it from a standalone webserver and on my own machine. I'm assuming that there's a security issue that i've missed as i can't think of any other reason why it's ok in flex builder but not when compiled on the same box.
Thanks all.
Is it a crossdomain.xml issue?
The web server running the SOAP service needs crossdomain.xml file to allow your flash movie to access it. See http://www.adobe.com/devnet/articles/crossdomain_policy_file_spec.html
