CFMX6.1 Upgrade — did you change the Windows logon account?

I just finished upgrading our server to ColdFusion 6.1 (aka redsky). I had some issues during the update process and realized it was because I always ran the ColdFusion services under their own account that has somewhat restricted access (by default they run under the system account). If you are upgrading a windows server make sure you change the account to your administrator/system account before the update and switch it back afterwards.

Well the server is happy now :)

Shared Libraries

I’ve been working on a project that uses Shared Libraries a lot. I realized something that I’m not sure is very apparent. Version 6,0,65 of the Flash Player included a bunch of fixes/additions to implementing Shared Libraries. If you are using shared libraries make sure to test on different players as you are likely using some of the abilities that were fixed/added in that release.

Very Cool: KineticFusion

I don’t usually post software links, but KeneticFusion by Kenesis Software is very cool. It allows you to decompile a swf into xml or compile xml to a swf. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but this software is so far along and is free. It decompiled a large swf/project that I did a while back without a hitch.

Some other things to note:
1. The documentation is there with a bunch of samples
2. There is work underway to develop an xml Schema
3. This might be an answer to some people who want to be able to version control their projects (including Fla’s). Since your project would be xml based, you could have CVS keep a record of all the changes!
4. ItÂ’s just cool!

Flash Forward NY was a great event. We got a lot of good feedback at our booth and the presentations I attended were very well prepared. The attendance seemed to me a bit low in comparison to the San Francisco event but that could just be me..
