Hi Mike,

If you select none for your server configuration, it doesn't mean you can't connect to the ColdFusion server, it's also important to note that in most CF setups the default configuration is not to allow CF mappings over the remote connections. Your end point configuration can be done after your flex project is setup, but it doesn't give you access to some of the newer Flex 4 "Fiber" tools. ( Drag and Drop, Client side paging, etc )

This might help you understand the CF end point configuration files a little better. They are typically more important than you would like to think.

Cheers

Thanks Gareth,

At the moment I'm just wanting to build SOMETHING in Flex, using my ColdFusion server, so i can start to add Flex apps to my other coldfusion work. At the moment, I'm not even getting off the starting blocks with it.

As to "dynamic channelset / end point utility class", that's a whole 'nother bucket of worms I have a lot to learn about.

It all looks so easy on the Adobe web site, and everyone has been saying "flex is so easy its great!" so I figured I'd be a mug to ignore it. I suspect the trouble is, the designers of FlashBuilder 4 didnt take into account the possibility that users might have more than one web site to manage. But I acknowledge that I have a LOT to learn about this whole discipline yet.

    Hi Mike,

    Are you wanting to take advantage of the Flex 4 -> CF tool set ? A
    connection to your CF server and webroot is only necessary if this
    is the case. We found the drag and drop connectors to be more
    trouble then they were worth, and ended up implementing a dynamic
    channelset / end point utility class, much like the configuration
    available through the end point configuration xml files, but
    customised for our requirements.

    I hope this helps a little, and doesn't bring even more confusion,
    let us know more about what your trying to do.

    Cheers
    Gareth.
