my remoting movie only works locally

[jaybee]

hi, I followed the tutorial on the mm site re getting started with remoting, and built a helloWorld swf with a cf component at the back end........it works in test mode and when I publish it locally, but when I publish it on the web, no go........here is the as:

#include "NetServices.as"
#include "NetDebug.as"

function Result()
{
    //receives data returned from the method
    this.onResult = function(result)
    {
        result_txt.text += "\nData received from server: "+result;
    }

    this.onStatus = function(error)
    {
        trace("Error : " + error.description);
    }
}

NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl("http://myhost.com/flashservices/gateway");
var gw = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
var server = gw.getService("path.to.helloworld", new Result());

my_btn.onRelease = function() {
    server.sayHello();
}

and when the version on the web loads the movie seems to have problems cos the button doesn't turn the cursor into a hand as it should........I thought it could be a problem with including the as files, but they seem to be in the right place....?

When you publish to the web, is the swf doing the calling on the same machine as the Remoting server? If not that is your problem.

[jaybee]

yes it is

[jaybee]

let me know if anybody thinks it would be useful to see the fla on this, or if you think it could be to do with the host....it's a free host, the only one I could find that do remoting....

Nothing in life is free my friend

If your website is under IIS you should take a look at the following article:

I'm having the same problem. If I double click the swf and view it in the local flash player, my web services work. If I attempt to go to a url where the swf is hosted (in the same domain/server as the web service even), the data never loads. I thought it might have been a problem with cross-domain-policy, so I made that file in the servers root with a * policy. This did not help. I'm not sure what else to try at this point.

I have finally solved a problem I've seen posted on many forums including this one.

Make sure that if you're using nusoap and apache compression that you go edit nusoap and comment out the lines that perform compression on the soap envelope. Whats happening is that it is being double compressed and the flash client is getting garbage (when viewed in IE). It works fine from the localhost since you're not passing the "compress me plz" header (which both Apache AND nusoap react to).
