	cfm files by Marc Poirier (Markyyyy) on Jun 28, 2008 at 9:06:08 pm Does anyone know what is the procedure when working with flash and .cfm I am reating a flash site, but for tracking purposes, when we click on a button, it needs to call a .cfm file...

	Re: cfm files by Marc Poirier on Jun 29, 2008 at 11:28:22 am Unfortunately, I don't have control over this... the hosting company used by my client uses cfm and I'll need to adapt... i'm trying to find tutorials that explains how to send from flash to cfm.. but so far the ones that I saw don't work :) even when I run the tutorial from their site..

	Re: cfm files by Sher Ali on Jun 29, 2008 at 11:06:22 am There are many ways to communicate with the back-end technologies like .php .cfm etc. One way is to use flash-remoting which is advanced and has a lot of benefits over other techniques. Other methods are to use LoadVars class or using loadVariables functions.

	Re: cfm files by Marc Poirier on Jun 29, 2008 at 11:36:46 am Yes, I'm somewhat familiar with loadvars, as I have some email form, etc. that comunicate with a php server, but in the case of the .cfm you have to include the ?=.... in your getURL... why, that is what i'm trying to find out..Lee Brimelow uses something similar on is www.gotoandlearn.com site, but it seems to be on a php server...

	Re: cfm files by Sher Ali on Jun 29, 2008 at 11:48:40 am The purpose of appending random string or any value is just to the end of the url is to kill the cache.

	Re: cfm files by Marc Poirier on Jun 29, 2008 at 12:07:45 pm ah! reallyyy!.. I thought it was some way of calling a script from the server or something like that... great, thanks for the help... now, I just need to find what's particular in a .cfm and voila! i'll be set.. cheers!
