This means Flex's proxy couldn't find a service called "FormatSourceService" in the flex-config.xml configuration.
Can you check: a) that the /WEB-INF/flex/flex-config.xml file exists b) that this file contains the necessary sample configurations (i.e. includes an entry for FormatSourceService) - if not, perhaps you've mixed up the samples flex configuration file and a "bare bones" flex configuration file. c) that there weren't any configuration errors in the web application startup logs when trying to deploy the flex/cf applications -----Original Message----- From: chrs_hearn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 2:22 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Samples Error: FormatSourceService I get the dreaded error on the samples installation and cant for the life of me fix it, please help somebody...its a win32 coldfusion installation...C:\CFusionMX\wwwroot\WEB-INF Any ideas where to look for problems...is it path related?
