I was having a problem this week on the cfdeveloper server, members were reporting that flash remoting was not working. Having then tested on a few other CF 7 servers, it was not working there either. And I did a bit of googling to no avail, only to find that a lot of people seem to have problems getting flash remoting to work. In ColdFusion MX 6 you could go to http://domain/flashservices/gateway to test if it was working, and if you got a blank page back, all was ok. On ColdFusion MX 7 this does not work, so the only way you can test is by writing some code to test the service. Here is a simple script you can use to test the flash remoting services. http://www.asfusion.com/blog/entry/remoting-for-coldfusion-flash-forms Well here is the answer. After checking the coldfusion runtime logs (C:\CFusionMX7\runtime\logs\coldfusion-out.log), I found it was full of errors like this. [Flash Remoting MX]-> Unable to load configuration. Reason: The element type
"service-adapters" must be terminated by the matching end-tag

flashgateway.controller.GatewayServlet So I checked the gateway-config.xml file (\wwwroot\WEB-INF\gateway-config.xml) and found it had the following errors in it. <service-adapters>

<adapter>coldfusion.flash.adapter.ColdFusionAdapter</adapter>
