Handling errors with ColdFusion and Flash

To help with debugging, use the cftry and cfcatch tags to return error messages to the Flash Player, as in the following example:

<cftry>

  <cfset Flash.Result = undefinedVar>
  <cfcatch>
    <cfset Flash.Result="Failed">
  </cfcatch>
</cftry>

In this example, the first cfset tag fails to assign the value into Flash.Result because of an undefined variable.

Note: When you create a ColdFusion page that communicates with Flash, ensure that the ColdFusion page works before using it with Flash.
