Subject: FLASH: Generator Offline Mode and ColdFusion -- CFX_Generate
From: Robert L Mann
Date: Thu, 11 May 2000 16:33:45 +0100

How can macromedia offer this tag as a solution when there is no support for it... Please provide some feedback.

.............................................................................


Has anyone had any experience with the use of CFX_Generate?

The offline process works correctly for generate.exe from executing a cmd prompt; however, Macromedia's documentation on CFX_Generate
is incomplete (missing help files). It seems that CFX_Generate is a viable option to use; yet, I have not been able figure out where I am failing to execute the tag.


Macromedia's example...

"The following example invokes the Offline Generator, creating the Flash Player movie mygraphic.swf from the Generator template.swt. "

<CFX_Generate
TEMPLATE="c:\webroot\mytemplate.swt"
TYPE="swf"
FILE="c:\webroot\mygraphic.swf">


"This is equivalent to the command:"

generate -swf mygraphic.swf mygraphic.swt






My Interpretation....

<CFX_Generate
TEMPLATE="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\GenTest\GenTest.swt"
TYPE="swf"
FILE="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\GenTest\GenTest.swf">

...This is placed in a file called generatepage.cfm

Am I correct in assuming that the http request for generatepage.cfm should invoke Offline Generator to occur, and I should actully see the DOS window appear briefly (as Macromedia states)?

Please assist..
