ColdFusion & Flash Remoting on OS X

I got to tryout CFMX on OS X thanks to the good people at Apple who lent us a few 15-inch Titanium PowerBooks to use during MXDU.

MM's installation instructions for CFMX on OS X on top of JRun 4 were a little confusing and did cause some grief, thanks to Pete and Buddy Boy for the help, but as soon as that was out of the way it was all go.

After a quick change to the gateway address for one of my MXDU Flash Remoting example apps, the charting one (will post it here in a day or two), I had Flash Remoting talking to a CFC which made use of CFChart & CFFile to display charts in the Flash player.

Screenshot below, click on it to see a larger view - the window with the graph is the app running:

Cool stuff, Andrew. Looking forward to more of your discoveries on working with the Mac, as well as your explorations of integrating charting.

It was a very nice example of thinking beyond the square Andrew, I got quite a lot out of it. Thanks buddy.

Any organisations think of using the Apple Server as a CF web server?

I have JRun4 and Colfusion MX installed on my Mac (OS 10.2.5) and can't seem to get Flash Remoting to work right. I can access the gateway but when I test my movie, I get an error saying that it doesn't recognize my file as a service. Where should I place my CFM files so Flash remoting can see them.

Thanks
