ColdFusion session undefined error in Flash

I have a members area that when logged into a session variable called "userid" is created. It works across all of the pages correctly. I have an application.cfm file with sessionmanagement turned on.

The pro开发者_运维百科blem is that I have a flash video recorder that shows up in a new window that posts to a file named save.cfm. Once I click save on the flash recorder, it posts to save.cfm and I get the error. They are all on the same domain so I don't understand why I'm getting a 500 Element USERID is undefined in SESSION error. The form has nothing to do with that value, the value is being picked up by session.

I suspect the flash player is not sending the cfid/cftoken cookies, and therefore the CF App server is unable to determine which session this traffic belongs to, and therefore unable to load the session variable.

To confirm this, log the contents of the cookie struct on the save.cfm page when you post to it. Or, even better, use a packet sniffer/proxy to watch the traffic.

You may have to expressly include the session tokens in the url you're posting to by adding session.urltoken to the url.

So, when you configure the destination for the video recorder's post (assuming its generated by CF), instead of using

save.cfm

use

save.cfm?#urlEncodedFormat(session.urltoken)#
