Problem with CFC Webservices and Flash 8

[ndcollins]

I am having troubles consuming my CFC Web Service in Flash 8. I am using the
WebServiceConnector component, pointed to my WS URL, and it sees it just
fine, loads the data into the WS viewer and shows me the functions, etc.

However, when I go to export it, I get the error "Error opening URL
"myWSurl"
I notice it's leaving off the "?wsdl" from the end there, but am not sure
why, or if that's even an issue. The "?wsdl" is in the URL I entered, so I'm
not sure why it isn't in the error message.

If I type in the direct URL for the Web Service, it displays the WSDL
information just fine.

I am using CFMX7. Anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Hey, I found the problem. I figured I'd post the solution if anyone else is having a similar problem. In order for Flash to read the data from a Coldfusion CFC Web Service, you have to go in on the Coldfusion server and map the folder that contains your CFCs.

flash should be able to read cfc wether they are mapped on the server or not... i do it all the time, my guess is you were getting a problem because of something in the component.... all of my are hand coded connections... but then i am in control of all my code... including the cfcs, i know this is not an option for most developers.
