Title: creating a release build and moving files to production

---

I believe I need to choose the Export option in the Flex 3 builder, choose the Release Build so that I can get the compact binaries which can be uploaded on the server.

1. What else might be needed to be moved other than the files in html-template folder(containing AC_OETags.js and the history folder), assets(containing images and the external css file), and the files in flex folder which are data-management-config.xml, messaging-config.xml, proxy-config.xml, remoting-config.xml, services-config.xml? Would doing an Export of the Release Build include the required files(html-template folder, assets folder, flex folder?

2. The application is running on a regular http protocol on the development machine, but it needs to run on a secure https protocol on the production box.

Currently, in the services-config.xml file I have

<!-- CF Based Endpoints -->
<channel-definition id="my-cfamf" class="mx.messaging.channels.AMFChannel">
<endpoint uri="http://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.AMFEndpoint"/>
<properties>
.<polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
<serialization>
<instantiate-types>false</instantiate-types>
</serialization>
</properties>
</channel-definition>



<channel-definition id="my-cfamf-secure" class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel">
<endpoint uri="https://{server.name}:{server.port}{context.root}/flex2gateway/cfamfsecure" class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/>
<properties>
<polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
<add-no-cache-headers>false</add-no-cache-headers>
<serialization>
<instantiate-types>false</instantiate-types>
</serialization>
</properties>
</channel-definition>
.
.
.

and in remoting-config.xml there is

<default-channels>
<channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
</default-channels>

<destination id="ColdFusion">
<channels>
<channel ref="my-cfamf"/>
</channels>

I guess I need to change the <channel ref="my-cfamf"/> in remoting-config.xml to <channel ref="my-cfamf-secure"/> in default channels and destination id.

2. Will any other changes be needed in any of the config.xml files?

I know it is hard to comment/advise without looking at the entire application, but I have not done this before so need some suggestions.
