RE: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2)

[Matt Chotin]

No, FB doesn’t have build profiles in this release, sorry.  I think we were expecting folks with this kind of situation to have bigger build systems that would run the compiler via Ant scripts or something similar.   Matt   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Jason Y.

What I miss is the convenience of "build profiles" as seen in some other IDEs.  I can have one for development and one for production, each having different compiler options (eg. so I can specify different flex-services.xml files).  At least that's one way to do it.  Can I do something like this with the current Flex Builder?  I haven't found a way.

Kwong Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 7:41 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Configuring RemoteObject destinations (Flex 2) This came up cause I was configuring my Flex 2 app to communicate with ColdFusion, but I suppose it applies to RemoteObject in general.  In order to tell your app the location of a web service destination, we're told to add something like this to the compiler command line: --services=C:\CFusionMX7\wwwroot\WEB-INF\flex\flex-enterprise-services.xml Now, my first question is, since the file flex-enterprise-services.xml resides on the server (be it ColdFusion or FES) and you typically don't do your client development on the same machine as the production server, how would this work in the general case? Anyway, so then I decided to copy the file to my development machine and then manually changed "localhost" to the server's IP address in the channel configuration.  I compiled my app and it worked fine.  But now it appears that the server's address is compiled directly into the swf.  Are we unable to dynamically assign server addresses at runtime? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice     YAHOO!
