I would set up a coldfusion mapping.
 
flash should be able to get to it via the coldfusion mapping

Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Flash Remoting and CFCs outside the webroot

Thanks Mark - that's a really neat idea.
 
However, it sounds like too much work for me.  What I have done since posting is create a Virtual Directory in IIS6, point it at the custom tag directory, and use dot notation to call the cfc, and it appears to be working so far.  (I have turned off directory listing and read rights to that folder, so they are just about invisible if you don't know they are there, which was my intention.)
 
I can live with my workaround at the moment, but if it fails I'll give your idea a shot.
 
Thanks
 
Antony

Antony -

You would probably need to double check this - but I'm (kinda?) certain that you can't access
components that are stored off the web root.

That being said - it's fairly common practice to have a CFC that handles all your Flash Remoting
calls, for greater seperation between layers.

This CFC will grab the relevent data from the CFCs that is required and pass it off to the
Remoting request.

On a total theory bent (ya would have to test this out) have a RemotingCFCManager.cfc that's
sole job is to return back instances of CFCs that are stored off the web root to the remoting
request.

Not sure how that would turn out tho. Been a bit since i've played with remoting.

HTH

Mark
