Flash forms clock won't go away

We are trying to set up a flash forms based site and have created a small "hello world" type app. The problem is that When we load it, the "busy clock" cursor never goes away. I assume this is because it is waiting on the server for something, but we have no idea what that could be. We have both the CFIDE and JRunScripts virtual directories in IIS.

Any ideas?

do you mean you want the preloader to go away? the little status bar the appears when the form is loading?

if that is what you mean, then in your cfform set this... preloader="false"

example...

<cfform name="yourform" action="something.cfm" method="post" format="flash" preloader="false">

note: preloader is only for flash forms...

ahhh nevermind re-read your post again, you mean the mouse cursor right? where the little clock displays when the form is loading...

so does your form display and function properly even though the cursor turns to a clock and won't go away? and does this happen on each computer you test this on?

if your form doesn't display, then you have a compiling issue, you'll have to look through your code for something like a continuous loop or inproper formatting, if it does show it could be a system setting you have to correct...

trail,
Yeah, I mean the "busy" mouse cursor that displays when something is happening.

It does not function. I have a single input box on the page but none of the text or anything else. It does not function at all.

It is a very basic test app just to test with. I can get it working on another machine, just not this one.

My guess is that it is waiting to connect back to my server for more data but can't.

1) I tried dropping in a blank application.cfm, but it didn't help.

2) Ug... definately last resort.

3) Here is the code I'm calling. It is very basic.
<cfform name="myform" height="200" width="400" format="Flash" timeout="0">
<cfformitem name="mesg" type="html">Hello World</cfformitem>
</cfform>

4) My plugin is the latest version. It also has no problem loading other flash form sites.
What are the mappings required to make flash forms work? I have the CFIDE and JRunScripts virtual dirs created, as that is what most have been saying causes this problem.

Is there a url I can call to test that connectivity is working?
Or...

Is there some actionscript I can use to spit out what flash is waiting on?

Re ran the web server connection wizard and all is happy now.
