Accessing CFC with mx:RemoteObject

[jce1975]

I have been trying to setup the Helloworld example from Adobe located here:

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/helloworld.html

However, because I don't have access the CF webroot directory, I can't place the Helloworld.cfc there. I tried placing the cfc in the same folder as the HelloWorld_ro.mxml file, but I can't seem to get the path right? Here is the error:

faultString: 'send failed'
faultDetail: 'Channel.Connect.Failed error
NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed'

I tried changing the source attribute but I just can't get it right. Can the cfc be placed anywhere or does it have to be in the CF webroot? Does anyone have an example of this?

I have my cfc located on my server in at the following path:

James/helloworld_cfc/HelloWorld.cfc

Thanks,

James

Do I need to setup up a new Destination in the services-config.xml file? I was able to view the file. Here it is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<services-config>

<services>
<service id="coldfusion-flashremoting-service"
class="flex.messaging.services.RemotingService"

</adapters>

<destination id="ColdFusion">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
</channels>
