Hi!

Ok. My problem is that I would like to conncet from Flah MX 2004 Authoring evironment trough https to ColdFusion (database). But everything seems to be ok when I connect trough http. I have also attached a file so you can try and see. It is very small and everthing you need to change is in this line : It is set to https .NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl(" if you change it to http like NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl(" Flash Mx 2004 can connect to database. I think there is some missunderstanding with certificates as Flash MX probably can not manage with them... I don't know. Only thing that I know that when i generate swf (which has this line inside NetServices.setDefaultGatewayUrl(" the conncetion work only in mozzila. This swf is nothing than a login (if you log in successfuly you will see a green light) otherwise it stays red. Username: markeb10 , password : keber. Try it for yourself .

Ok so I found on one forum that one guy had managed to create a connection (https) from Flash MX 2004. All he has written was:

>>Can I connect to an HTTPS url from inside the Flash MX 2004 IDE?

While the Flash Player doesn't seem to mind connectiong to https URLs, I
have never been able to get the IDE to use an https:// WSDL... and of
course, cold fusion WSDL's generate dynamically, so if I used an http://
WSDL, my web service connections would all be insecure.

My workaround was to call an http:// url, which was actually a
coldfusion file used to generate the WSDL with the https:// urls in it.

I'm kinda new here so I said to myself why not ask coldfusion masters about help.

I have a swf file online: (it works fine - except it doesn't work from Flash MX or Explorer when is not on the server)

link on the server:

(server is a litle slow so please be patient)


A link to my fla file (which is connecting to database):

Thank you for helping me!
