My Milieu of Musings

Came across this list of free/OpenSource forums for ColdFusion.  Thought I would document it here for posterity.

• http://www.cf4em.com (supposed to be close to phpBB)
• http://galleon.riaforge.org/ (another fine Ray Camden project)
• http://cfmbb.riaforge.org/ (mixture of Galleon and phpBB)
  
• http://sigmaforums.riaforge.org/
• http://fuseforum.riaforge.org/ (written in FuesBox, so can probably be easily integrated into other apps)
  
• http://flexorum.riaforge.org/ (appears to be dead?  But possibley Flex-based?)
  

I've been working w/ANT the last few days, trying to get it to compile a flex app that makes heavy use of Cairngorm, FlexLib, and Flare.  All these libraries deliver swc files that can be compiled into the application.  This is very easy to do with FlexBuilder, but not so simple for the n00b when trying it out for the first time.

First of all, the mxmlc ant task is poorly documented; apparently, we are supposed to refer to the mxmlc documentation.  Fair enough.  However, it is not-exactly trivial when the syntax changes ever so slightly.

Gotta have that background present when using containers as dragTargets!

We encountered a new error yesterday.  One of our clients has a Flex app that retrieves data from a different server over https (which are hosted on a dedicated server separate from the Flex app).  Sometimes it worked; sometimes it failed w/the following message:

The following unexpected error has occured: [FaultEvent fault=[RPC Fault faultString="Security error accessing url" faultCode="Channel.Security.Error" faultDetail="Destination: DefaultHTTPS"]
