Oh, man. They introduced the FRG (Flash Remoting Gateway) in I think CF MX 6.1. It worked within ACF 7, but only when you had FDS/BlazeDS installed... and then it was only AS2, and supported only like 3 CF tags. It broke in CF8 (the connectors were never updated to work properly), and didn't even ship with CF9 (you could download CF7 or CF8 and move the JARs around yourself and rebuild the connectors from scratch). It's the same runtime that was included in FCS/AMS (but ran through the enterprise router, so it was limited to 1 thread per license). I'm surprised they kept it in the docs.
The AS3 support they included pretty much exposed all the CFSCRIPT components as AS3 objects. It was a new runtime that was on track to make CF fully support more than one language... Or at least that was how it was introduced... -Nick On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 3:09 PM, Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: > Hmm.
