Pagination (should be basic)
All, I'm trying to understand how to do simple pagination--that is, return a list of results or enter a page and only present the first X results. Likewise, I'd like to be able to present the next set of results (from x*2 to x*3), etc. Thank you for any assistance/pointers.

Re: Pagination (should be basic)
Russ I'm trying to understand how to do simple pagination This is called a next-n interface. There are quite a few web resources on this if you do a search. Basically you need to do a CFQUERY... CACHEDWITHIN... to get the data efficiently, then display it on the page using variables to keep track of what the numbers of the first and last rows to display for the current page in the query are, using CFLOOP QUERY=...

RE: Ben's J2EE Book
I totally disagree.. getting it 'connected' is the easy part. The actual movement and animation (for which Flash is designed) is the difficult part. Flash is one of those progs which you need to be [a] a good designer [b] a good animator. If you are neither then stay clear of Flash or you will just be producing the same old crap. I think a proper 'Spectrum of Participants' :-) is required for these Rich Client movies as one single CF developer aint gonna blow things out of the water with poor Flash skills and a little DB connectivity.

RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...
Sorry, I come back to the original thread problem : CFC scopes. Here are some more details one CFCs scopes and UDFs. When you excecute a CFMODULE, the only scopes still available in the CFMODULE script are 'attributes' + request/url/form, so you have to re-include UDF Lib. Which means that UDF Lib scope (from the calling script) is not available in a script executed by CFMODULE. When you execute a CFC (or a custom tags), it should be the same. The only scopes still available in the CFC script are 'arguments' + request/url/form, but there is a problem : UDF Lib scope from the calling script is still available in the CFC (???). This is not logical. CFC should not be able to access UDF Lib scope from the calling script, it should behave like the CFMODULE. UDF have by default the no prefix scope, so I thought they would behave like no prefix variables. (and if I want a UDF function during all my request, then I put it in the request scope) So for me, this is a bug (a non-consistent behaviour). Don't you think?

UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...)
I agree with you Raymond. But it is true that is more personal preference/coding style terms than performance/architecture terms. This are my personal rules : CUSTOM TAGS (ColdFusion Taglibs) - custom tags encapsulates presentation logic they always output content (usually HTML), - custom tags usually do not call the model or controller layer, - custom tags are only used by the presentation layer (page or pagelet scripts). They are used for presentation logic encapsulation. USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS (UDF) - user defined functions encapsulate generic logic and rarely output content (except for string formatting purposes), - user defined functions do not call the model or controller layer, - user defined functions are used in any layer (view, controller or model). They are used generic logic/function encapsulation. COLDFUSION COMPONENTS (CFC) - components encapsulate business/data access application logic and never output content, - components are called by the view layer only to read data, - components are called by the controller layer to create/update/delete data. They are used for business logic encapsulation. ..

RE: Ben's J2EE Book
I guess it depends on what experience your bring to Flash as to what is easy and what is hard. I've been doing digital video production for years, which involves creating timeline-based graphics animation, as well as some 3-D animation, so graphics creation is more natural for me. When I first looked at Flash years ago, as a possible tool for graphics/animation, I thought it was an interesting tool, but lacked a place in my sphere of work where the effort required to produce the animation would be worth it. I have no doubt that I can produce satisfactory Flash from a graphics perspective, but I'm more interested in its use as a single-page application interface. Designing the interface, for me, really is the simple part. The problem is, all I bring to Flash ActionScript is Cold Fusion programming knowledge, and I'm not finding the experience with one helpful with the other. When I started CF, I had some great tutorials that introduced me to it, but with Flash AS, I haven't found the tutorials that have helped me put it all together, yet. Sounds like MM is getting ready to address those like me who need some AS help, similar to their built-in tutorials for the animation that come with the Flash program. Just a few basic lessons and tutorials like those in the Flash Help menu would go a long way.

Re: UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...)
Benoit, thanks for the summary of your rules-of-thumb for CF modularisation. I'll check out your site later. For now, could you clear up some terminology for this no-CS-background designer-turned-coder? ;-) I can hazard good guesses, but what do you mean by view, controller and model layers? Also, I know the idea of business rules from relational DB design - am I right in saying you're using business logic here in a similar sense, to apply to the CF application? That is, it refers to procedures and functions mostly specific to the current application? If this is so, am I right in saying that, given your personal rules, cflib.org for sharing UDFs is useful, but cfczone.org for sharing CFC's is less useful? I know it's fine to use CFC's for generic functions and cfczone.org will probably become as useful as cflib.org, I'm just trying to gauge the meaning of your rules with this analogy. If you use CFCs for business logic encapsulation, they may not be very portable - unless I'm taking the term business logic in a too narrow sense. - Gyrus - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available - Original Message - From: Benoit Hediard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 9:26 AM Subject: UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...) I agree with you Raymond. But it is true that is more personal preference/coding style terms than performance/architecture terms. This are my personal rules : CUSTOM TAGS (ColdFusion Taglibs) - custom tags encapsulates presentation logic they always output content (usually HTML), - custom tags usually do not call the model or controller layer, - custom tags are only used by the presentation layer (page or pagelet scripts). They are used for presentation logic encapsulation. USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS (UDF) - user defined functions encapsulate generic logic and rarely output content (except for string formatting purposes), - user defined functions do not call the model or controller layer, - user defined functions are used in any layer (view, controller or model). They are used generic logic/function encapsulation. COLDFUSION COMPONENTS (CFC) - components encapsulate business/data access application logic and never output content, - components are called by the view layer only to read data, - components are called by the controller layer to create/update/delete data. They are used for business logic encapsulation. ..

RE: Ben's J2EE Book
I guess that exactly where I'm coming from. I have little interest in Flash's animation capability. But my browser/Internet-based application customers have expressed confusion when I try to convert them from software applications which utilize basically a one-page interface to multiple-page processing with HTML-CF apps. It's a little disconcerting for them to jump around. With a tool that would allow the basics of add, view, update, delete info using a single interface, I'd have a much easier time convincing clients to allow me to build browser-based, Internet-connected apps for as opposed to using multiple pieces of software and manual work to accomplish their business tasks. Many of them want their information accessible by the public on the Internet anyway, so it's a perfect match. For me, it's that 2% of new Flash information processing ability that will make it worth the price and effort, not it's animation producing ability. I'd be interested in it, even if it wouldn't animate at all. That's why I've spent the last several years saying No to Flash until Flash database connectivity came along...

Retry - Extracting filename of cfchart generated jpg
Hi all, I asked this last week with no response so thought I'd give it another go. Does anyone know if there is a way of determining the filename of a dynamically generated chart using cfchart (programmatically of course). Basically I've set cfchart to cache to disk and want to be able to capture the file in order to copy it to an user's personal directory if they chose to save the chart for later use (in writing custom reports). I've already figured a roundabout workaround involving cfhttp parsing the page for the filename. Ideally I'd like to simply extract the filename at initial runtim of cfchart. any help appreciated, Dave __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists

True, True, but maybe MM should have built or released an app / tool just for this purpose. It doesnt make sense to use an app like Flash for something so trivial, when HTML would suffice. Surely thats the gain? If you use Flash you get all the bells and whistles which eludes HTML etc There is no logic in just using it for the sake of using it (and because you can!). If you are going to use it then use ir properly. Its like buying CF and only using it to output Hello World! on a page.

Hi, Ray, and thanks for the info. Sounds like MM is address the potential that Flash has for revolutionizing the way Internet-based apps are developed. It will really bridge the gap between software-based apps and browser-based apps. From my view...forget the animation. Keeping the complication of animation inside, and requiring the continued use of the timeline interface will continue to drive away potential app builders. (Maybe a version that moves away from the timeline perspective, and focuses on app pages, instead?) I'm glad to see this is coming, but really wish that the info was available online for me to work through on my own. I like to learn things on my own, at my pace and time, instead of having to go to the time and expense of attending a class. (Some of us are *very small* businesses without the couple thousand needed to attend a class) Besides, the materials that class attenders will take away from the class will probably be sufficient for self-study, anyway. (Some people are never satisfied, huh?)

RE: Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR
I agree, Ray - I've had no use for Flash, even though I appreciate some of the animation it's produced. It's been an interesting *diversion* from the best uses of the Internet, and it's current use on the 'Net testifies to that perspective. It's basically an advertiser's tool...and advertisers are always looking for anything different to try to attract attention. But for the main work of the Internet, presenting and manipulating data, it's had no place. I beleive apps should look good, but Flash is just overkill for creating asthetically appealing sites. Most clients aren't interesting in paying for that kind of eye-candy. My work would be like yours, a few reusable graphics templates, basic components and forms, and I'm working 99% of the time. Probably never use any animation...Same reason I never use DHTML to make a photo fly onto the screen instead of just having it appear...

RE: Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR
Trivial? Have you used DHTML lately? (grin). There are many things that Flash can do that one could do in DHTML - however the fact that you have 99% less cross-platform headaches would make even simple stuff better in Flash I think. I think Flash has more bells and whistles than just animation. Certainly being able to tie in remoting to a flash app, even one that is a simple form, adds a level of sophistication that you can't get in DHTML. I know you can do server pings with DHTML, but this is normally done via IFRAME, layer hacks. I'm not a Flash guru, so I'll stop there. Maybe I'll never use Flash to it's full potential - but I can say I'd _much_ rather use Flash now that I've got a good handle on it. All the books I've seen in the past tried to make me learn the animation crap that I'll just never have a use for. The course focused on things that made me see that I really can use Flash in my apps - right now. P.S. Yes, I work for Macromedia (well, not for much longer), so I'm probably biased. I just want people here to know that I'm not just saying this because I work for the company. I really have gained a _much_ bigger appreciation for what Flash can do for me as a 'coder geek'.

RE: Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR
Just read up on this thread. Glad to See MM are addressing the issue full on, however I am wondering if they may also be addressing the issue of training accomplished Flash Developers in the art of Application development with CF? The main problem which I have encountered is not in learning how to integrate CF and Flash. I've been toying with this idea since Generator beta release. However the problem usually lies in finding competent flash designers to work alongside in developing the applications. I'd do it all myself, but my graphic and flash skills are too limited to create the kind of interfaces which I tend to visualise. An example of the kind of thing I'm attempting to achieve with flash/CF would be similar to the vehicle workshop screens found in most modern driving games e.g. Colin Mc Crae II etc, for configuring new vehicle options etc. Just my 2c Dave -Original Message- From: Raymond Camden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 30 September 2002 14:23 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR Thanks for your interest in making Flash MX, especially AS, accessible to the unwashed masses.

I do not know if this may be the underlying cause of the error but I do know that if sql is your database you cannot use timestamp as the datatype when you are passing in a date time field. It has to be CF_SQL_DATE. There was a disscusion about this on here last week but I think the person having the problem was using CFMX and M$SQL.

RE: Locking
Thanks for the advice, Isaac. One other question, can you see any reason why it would be bad to set all my application variables in application.cfm and then use an if test to prevents further cfsets? What do you think of this technique or are there better ones? My colleague and I are having this debate currently. Rob It depends how much data is in your application scope and how much of it will be relevant on any given page... I'm inclined to think that you won't want to shot-gun it quite that much, although you may not have to go too much further... Instead of duplicating the entire application scope, try and figure out what information will be specific to a given request in the application.cfm, for instance, if this is an app which requires a login and user session information is stored in the application scope, you might copy just the user session structure for the current user and not the whole array or structure containing all logged in users. For the remaining variables, you might loop through the application structure and copy only those which are simple values, i.e. cflock scope=application timeout=30 type=readonly cfset request.user = application.user[urltoken] cfloop item = x collection=application cfif issimplevalue(application[x]) cfset request[x] = application[x] /cfif /cfloop /cflock I've had good luck with a similar application architecture on CF5. Isaac Certified Advanced ColdFusion 5 Developer www.turnkey.to 954-776-0046 Hi, I'm upgrading from CF 4.0.1 to CF 5 and I have read that locking changed from 4.0 to 4.5. I'm currently using application variables and wanted some thoughts on this: Does anyone see any issues with moving all of my application variables to the request scope in application.cfm using: cflock SCOPE=Application Timeout=30 Type=Readonly cfset request=duplicate(application) /cflock So am I correct that this would mean if i had variables application.foo and application.foobar they will then be request.foo and request.foobar? Would it be wise to set the request variables in another page other than application.cfm since application.cfm is always hit? OR is there a better way to deal with this?

RE: Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR
Personally, I think that once this new paradigm of Flash Remoting is known by the person with enough vision and skills, new interface tools will be created that will do what Flash does in DB connectivity without the baggage that Flash brings from its beginning as a complicated and work-intensive graphics tool. The tool that dumps that complex, heavy Flash animation baggage and allows adequate graphic design, but continues to develop one-page browser-based, Internet-enabled DB-connected app development will win the day and the dollars. Believe me, I believe in good graphic design...I do graphic design work for print, web, and video every day. With print and video, which lack interactivity, presentation is very important to success. Graphic design can make or break a successful video presentation. But when it comes to the Internet, the functionality is what's far more critical. (Just take a look at many of the most successful sites on the Internet and it's amazing how little effort is obviously put into the design...but the functionality make it successful.) If another tool came along that would do what Flash Remoting enables, without the complicated Flash interface, I jump all over it...but really, for me, it's not the Flash interface that's the trouble, as a timeline based video editor, it makes sense to me. Even MM's attempt to get coders to think of the frames as states makes sense. Creating graphics with Flash is simple... It's just the AS that I haven't found training wheels for, yet.

RE: UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...)
I can hazard good guesses, but what do you mean by view, controller and model layers? Ooops... sorry. It refers to the MVC pattern : Model View Controller. - View : the presentation layer (there is usually a HTML-based view layer generated by CFML pages), - Controller : the application flow control, it receives request from the View layer, executes application logic, calls the model layer and returns the response to the View layer, (in web app, it usually handles data posted by forms and then redirect to a page) - Model : the application business logic and data access layer (done with CFCs in ColdfusionMX). As for cfczone.org Vs udflib.org, it is true that they are going to overlapp in some area. All the 'udflib' functions might be encapsulated into CFCs and put on 'cfczone'... And this is probably what is going to happen. In our case, all our CFCs are linked to our application (and therefore to our business logic) and could not be put or could not come from 'cfczone'. All our UDFs are not linked to our application and are coming from 'udflib'. But, in some cases CFCs might be more appropriate than UDF to encapsulate generic logic : when you need to have an object-oriented logic. Indeed, the advantage of CFCs over UDFs is their ability to have (or simulate) an 'object-oriented/object-based' behaviour. For example, CFC are great to be used as wrapper of existing java classes (it keeps the object behaviour of the java class and hide its complexity). With CFC, you can manipulate objects that are persistent during the request : - create an object, - call object.method1(), - call object.method2()... The object keep his state/properties in between each calls. With UDF, you can't really have this kind of approach. So, for generic logic encapsulation, I would use : - UDF / udflib.org for procedural logic (functions), - CFC / cfczone.org for object-oriented logic. But, again, this is in my opinion, so I prefer to stop here otherwise it is going to be another never-ending thread... ;) This is really a matter of personal preference/coding style.

Benoit, thanks for the summary of your rules-of-thumb for CF modularisation. I'll check out your site later. For now, could you clear up some terminology for this no-CS-background designer-turned-coder? ;-) I can hazard good guesses, but what do you mean by view, controller and model layers? Also, I know the idea of business rules from relational DB design - am I right in saying you're using business logic here in a similar sense, to apply to the CF application? That is, it refers to procedures and functions mostly specific to the current application? If this is so, am I right in saying that, given your personal rules, cflib.org for sharing UDFs is useful, but cfczone.org for sharing CFC's is less useful? I know it's fine to use CFC's for generic functions and cfczone.org will probably become as useful as cflib.org, I'm just trying to gauge the meaning of your rules with this analogy. If you use CFCs for business logic encapsulation, they may not be very portable - unless I'm taking the term business logic in a too narrow sense. - Gyrus - [EMAIL PROTECTED] work: http://www.tengai.co.uk play: http://www.norlonto.net - PGP key available - Original Message - From: Benoit Hediard [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 9:26 AM Subject: UDF Vs CFC (was RE: So many problems with CFC scopes...) I agree with you Raymond. But it is true that is more personal preference/coding style terms than performance/architecture terms. This are my personal rules : CUSTOM TAGS (ColdFusion Taglibs) - custom tags encapsulates presentation logic they always output content (usually HTML), - custom tags usually do not call the model or controller layer, - custom tags are only used by the presentation layer (page or pagelet scripts). They are used for presentation logic encapsulation. USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS (UDF) - user defined functions encapsulate generic logic and rarely output content (except for string formatting purposes), - user defined functions do not call the model or controller layer, - user defined functions are used in any layer (view, controller or model). They are used generic logic/function encapsulation. COLDFUSION COMPONENTS (CFC) - components encapsulate business/data access application logic and never output content, - components are called by the view layer only to read data, - components are called by the controller layer to create/update/delete data. They are used for business logic encapsulation. .. I've put some examples here http://www.benorama.com/coldfusion/patterns/part3.htm Benoit Hediard

I have been working with Flash for about 4 years now, and I dont think i have done any animation for about 2 years. All of my Flash applications consists of one Frame which a bunch of components, and data going back and forth from Flash and the server. What I am driving at is this : there is no real 'Spectrum of Participants' (sorry Ray) of how to get a movie up and running. For what its worth, here is my workflow. 1. create functionality of movie using ActionScript and components. 2. send it to a designer to make it look pretty. btw, as far as time and costs, in a lot of cases i think the developing in Flash is easier / faster than in HTML since I don't have to write a bunch of code that maintains client state across page views. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

RE: Running ColdFusion MX as specific user
I am trying to get ColdFusion MX to run under a specific user account. As long as that user is a memeber of the administrator group, it seems to run fine. In CF5 you had to set specific access rights on the registry and the file system as described in KB 11859, however we cannot find out how to set those rights in MX. Does anyone have any idea which specific rights on registry and/or user rights for the Win2K user account are necessary to run the service under non-administrative user account? Are there any drawbacks with this approach? Generally we like to run services with as little rights as necessary under secure live-environments. It's been my experience that this is easier to set up with CF MX than with previous versions of CF. I've done this more than once already. I'm currently running CF MX with a user account which is a member of the Users group, and nothing else changed about the account except that I had to grant it the Log on as a service right. I could probably tighten this a little more, but haven't tried yet. On the filesystem, I allowed this account RWXD on the contents of \CFusionMX (I suspect this could be tightened considerably in places) and read rights to the web root directory (I'm using CF MX through IIS). I didn't have to change any registry rights, and I don't think CF MX uses the registry for anything any more, by default, except for client variables - and I turned that off already. If you did want to use client variables in the registry, I think the new key is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\coldfusion\currentversion\clients.

RE: error with a piece of cfscript code and I can't see what's wrong?
It could be that your if's are not using one bracket set for the entire
check..
i.e.
You haveif () AND () {
Try changing them to if (() AND ()) {
And see if that helps...

RE: Locking
Again, I've had good experiences with this technique...
Here's an example:
cflock scope=application type=readonly timeout=30
cfparam name=url.getappudf type=boolean
default=#yesnoformat(isdeinfed('application.udf'))#
cfif url.getappudfcfset request.udf =
duplicate(application.udf)/cfif
/cflock
cfif not url.getappudf
cfset request.udf = structnew()
cfinclude template=mylibrary.cfm
cflock scope=application type=exclusive timeout=30
cfset application.udf = duplicate(request.udf)
/cflock
/cfif
Within the mylibrary.cfm file, all my user-defined functions are coppied
into the request.udf structure. This allows me to cache them in the
application scope, which ( and I've never done any load testing on this )
I've heard helps to reduce some of the load for subsequent page requests. I
would expect this to be the case for a lot of things -- for instance, if you
can't use a cached query for something, or if you want more control over the
result-set, you can cache a query by storing it in the application scope and
use something like the syntax above to determine whether the application
should connect to the db for the data. Subsequent page requests will then be
able to retreive the recordset from the copy cached in the application scope
which is almost always faster than connecting to a database.
The reason for the url variable is to allow you ( as the developer ) to
easily refresh the cached data by adding a url variable to the query string
in your browser, although I wouldn't recommend placing it in links or forms
-- users who know about the flag may be apt to over-use it, thus limiting
the usefullness of your caching scheme. Or for that matter, they may not
even be aware of it and simply continually refreshing pages which contain
the flag.

Thanks for the advice, Isaac. One other question, can you see any reason
why
it would be bad to set all my application variables in application.cfm and
then use an if test to prevents further cfsets? What do you think of this
technique or are there better ones? My colleague and I are having this
debate currently.
Rob
It depends how much data is in your application scope and how much of
it
will be relevant on any given page... I'm inclined to think that you won't
want to shot-gun it quite that much, although you may not have to go too
much further... Instead of duplicating the entire application scope, try
and
figure out what information will be specific to a given request in the
application.cfm, for instance, if this is an app which requires a login
and
user session information is stored in the application scope, you might
copy
just the user session structure for the current user and not the whole
array
or structure containing all logged in users.
For the remaining variables, you might loop through the application
structure and copy only those which are simple values, i.e.
cflock scope=application timeout=30 type=readonly
cfset request.user = application.user[urltoken]
cfloop item = x collection=application
cfif issimplevalue(application[x])
cfset request[x] = application[x]
/cfif
/cfloop
/cflock
I've had good luck with a similar application architecture on CF5.

Hi,
I'm upgrading from CF 4.0.1 to CF 5 and I have read that
locking changed
from 4.0 to 4.5. I'm currently using application variables
and wanted some
thoughts on this:
Does anyone see any issues with moving all of my
application variables to
the request scope in application.cfm using:
cflock SCOPE=Application Timeout=30 Type=Readonly
cfset request=duplicate(application)
/cflock
So am I correct that this would mean if i had variables
application.foo and
application.foobar they will then be request.foo and
request.foobar? Would
it be wise to set the request variables in another page
other than
application.cfm since application.cfm is always hit?
OR is there a better way to deal with this? Any
tips/tricks/advice is
appreciated!

Re: Flash for data views : WAS Ben's J2EE Book, now new course to be offered by MACR
If all you are doing is presenting data to the user with no interaction, then there is not much advantage to using Flash. However, if the users interacts with that data in any way, then there are advantages. Namely, the fact that the entire page will not need to be refreshed to update the data view (or to submit data, etc). Depending on the browser, it doesn't need to refresh the entire page now -- and espcially less so with the advance of a standard DOM from the w3c ... Admittedly, there's less issue with browser inconsistency with Flash -- well, now that NS 7 supports MX anyway. btw, as far as time and costs, in a lot of cases i think the developing in Flash is easier / faster than in HTML since I don't have to write a bunch of code that maintains client state across page views.

Hi all, I'm having this fun problem with a CFGRAPH tag in CF 5 that's driving me a bit crazy this morning. My code is calculating the sales average for the users' state vs. the national sales average for the same time period, and assigning these to local variables named #salesAvg# and #allSalesAvg#. The problem is that the values displayed in my CFGRAPH image (using the Flash format) and on the actual page do not match for the #allSalesAvg# value. The graph is showing 78.26 (which is incorrect), but the text label I have further down on the page is showing 78.27 (which is the correct value). Has anyone had any similar problems with the accuracy of the CFGRAPH tag? Any decent solutions to this, or am I better off hard-coding the value for the national sales until we move up to CFMX and CFCHART-ing?

Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense. I just needed a form with side by side list boxes, make a selection in one and the second is populated with selections that change based on what was selected in the first. Try doing that simply and easily in HTML (without screen refreshes). Flash, ColdFusion CFCs, and Flash Remoting make it a no brainer. Did I use animation? Nope. Did I need the timeline? Nope. In fact, I don't even have it open - I used a single frame and a single layer.

RE: CFLOCATION to external sites - failure
Hi, all. I'm afraid that this isn't the problem. The addresses are indeed fully qualified. I have rewritten the CFLOCATION tag several times from scratch to be sure I have no typos. I have cut and pasted the exact URL string from the CFLOCATION url attribute to a browser's address bar (on the server itself) and have successfully reached the site. Still a mystery...

Then the problem is the client resolving the url's. Well I'd taken it for granted that the url's in the db were all fully qualified, i.e. including http:// etc as Mike had suggested, but it's starting to sound like Mike is correct, unless the client machine is having extraneous networking problems (more unlikely).

RE: Flash for data views
All, I've been doing Flash apps for a while now and I wanted to put in a couple cents to this thread about my experience. I would like to agree with Ray and Mike on a lot of their points. Flash does not necessarily equal more time. It has a learning curve no doubt, but so does HTML/CFML. If you were a Visual Basic programmer, you might say why should I build this application in ColdFusion when it would take me half the time in Visual Basic? We do Flash MX applications exclusively at my company and our project bids are not higher than the HTML equivalent and we usually offer more because the Flash interface simply offers more than HTML/DHTML ever could. As for animation, I can thankfully say that I have had to do almost zero tweening in my Flash history. It simply doesn't apply to applications for the most part. Everything is more event based and states are managed with AS. Personally, I used the Flash authoring tool like Visual Basic studio. If you think of it in that light, it makes much more sense. Most of the time, I forget that there's even a timeline in Flash. As for the Macromedia course, however, I would disagree on a few points. I haven't looked at the course so please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. The course seems to give a good introduction to Flash but the one serious problem Flash has is that it has no application framework or standardized methodology for building applications. For example, Flash Remoting is great but it won't help you if you can't easily route calls and callbacks within your application. There was some work done on this with the Pet Market application, but there's definitely some quirky stuff within that application. Ray or Mike, are there any plans for any official methodology or app framework from Macromedia?

COM help
I need help tracking down an error in using CFOBJECT to create a csv file
from an excel spreadsheet.
I am using CF to open up an excel spreadsheet and then trying to turn the
data into a csv file. The code i'm using works fine the first time the
application is launched but on subsequent tries nothing happens. According
to the company hosting my site COM is causing the CF service to fail then it
has to be restarted. I'm listing the code i'm using below.
Is this an issue with a patch needing to be installed or a problem with the
code below? Any help would much appreciated. Thanks.
