[Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...
Hello All, I have a very intense problem, that must be addressed ASAP - our users are getting really angry :( We have a typical AS 2.0 Flash Application to view maps - and we are using Remoting w/ColdFusion in order to send our data back and forth. For only like 5% of the users, the application starts and loads completely with all it's related controls. BUT when the time comes for the initial Remoting call to the server (which populates all the dropdowns, etc.) it just hangs indefinitely - and we just can't figure out what is going on. The other 95% of the user base is working perfect! We have had comments regarding security settings, etc. so I know some users may have problems there, and some have Corporate Firewall problems - but that type of issue has to be addressed with the Admin person. We are using the JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object tags - in order to circumvent the Click to Activate this control problem. What issues are we not seeing, or taking into consideration, which would affect this 5% of the user base? Also, a quick note, we are running ColdFusion on Port 80 - so there are no other port issues that I am aware of (in case some users were blocking port 8500). I was confident that if we ran everything on Port 80, that this app would be friendly to all Firewalls. Thanks in advance, for any advice you can throw my way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...
Does ColdFusion have all available patches installed? There was a bug with the first Remoting call in CF7 which was fixed by the first updater. That is the first thing that comes to mind. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 11:57 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...
Do the 5% have the same http: browsing capabilities as the 95%? I had a similar issue and found out because I was new here, and even though I could browse to most web sites, unknown to me my http access was somewhat restricted until I was granted full, regular access. Are there any possible http access restrictions on these users for some reason? JavaScript document.write method to write out the Flash Object tags - That shouldn't have anything to do with it since you said the application starts - so they are past the Javascript at that point. It sounds like the Remoting call is failing for those users for some reason. And is it always the same 5% or is it 5% of random users? If it's random, I have also had problems with network blips because someone else was working on an application at the time or whatever. If it's always the same 5% then it seems to be due to something specific to their configuration and not a network blip. Anyway, things to think about.

Yes, it's the SAME 5% of the users - So there must be something in common with all these people. Please keep those comments coming :) I need all the help I can get right now! Many thanks!

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...
I don't know whether this applies to your situation but... We had a similar issue that was caused by anomalies in the data (believe it or not). It was a billing system built in Flash with a ColdFusion middle tier and a SQL Server backend. When one particular user pulled up certain accounts, the Flash UI would freeze on her. I know this doesn't make sense, but we solved it by analyzing the data in the accounts in question and looking for anomalies. We removed these anomalies, and sure enough the user's problem disappeared. We never figured out why these anomalies affected the Flash player, nor did we figure out why they *didn't* affect anyone else's player except for that one user. But the same issue arose with several different client accounts and that same user. -Jim -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Anderson Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 12:23 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...

RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...
Yes, her system was ostensibly identical to other systems in the same billing department: same hardware, same OS / version, same browser / version, same Flash player / version. The only other time I remember an incident similar to yours was when we built an app using the WebServiceConnector component in Flash 7. For a small % of users the app would load, but it was devoid of data. It turned out to be a firewall issue. We ended up rebuilding the app using LoadVars objects (Remoting was not available, as the backend was all Micro$oft products.) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Coning Sent: Friday, June 09, 2006 12:48 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Flash SWF Loading fine, but Remoting hangs...
