Select one of the radio buttons, as follows:

• If you installed LiveCycle Data Services and want to compile the application on the server, select LiveCycle Data
services in Flex Builder 3.

Click Next to open the Configure ColdFusion page, and enter the required information. If you selected LiveCycle
Data services in step 3, you can select to compile the application locally or on the server. Select to compile on the
server only when you are developing your application, for convenience. Do not select to compile on the server code

Specify a CFC
To specify a CFC to connect to, you do one of the following:
• Specify the dot-delimited path from the web root to the CFC in the MXML.
• Create a named resource for the CFC. Creating this resource is like registering a data source; you then use the
resource name in your XML.
Specify the CFC in the MXML
To specify the CFC in your MXML, use code such as the following:
<mx:RemotObject
id="myCfc"
destination="ColdFusion"
source="myApplication.components.User"/>
