Flash remoting problem

Hey all,

I have it set up so that my flash movie is calling functions in a coldfusion component via flash remoting. Say for example, calling a function that simply returns a random value. The strange thing is, this works fine when i am running the flash movie via "test movie" inside the flash IDE; but if i browse to the swf in a browser the value never comes in; it just hangs. Any idea why this is happening?

Another strange thing is that this used to work via the browser no problem; and I don't think i changed anything to make it stop working. Any thoughts?

Thank you in advance.

hi, i'm no flash remoting expert, but since u havent' received any other responses, it sounds like a pathing issue, which is usually the case when something doesn't work in the browser but works fine when u test the swf in the IDE.

Hmm okay, I will see if i put anything in a different folder or something. The thing that makes me think that it may not be a pathing issue is that a few months ago this was working fine; then i didnt work on it (its on my second computer which isnt on unless i am working on this project); then when i tried it after that few month gap it didnt work; when i changed nothing since the time it was working.

Well here is the situations; when i run it from the flash IDE as "Test Movie" it works just dandy. However if i browse to the swf on my server as in http://myipaddress:8500/someFolder/myFile.swf it doesnt work; it just hangs. Note that this happens not just if i browse to a html file with the swf embedded, but the swf itself also. I've changed nothing from the time it worked till now. You think some windows update could have screwed it up somehow? If so, what should be the steps i take to figure it out. Thanks.
