I don't think this is possible from Flash (maybe using MM Central?), but it IS possible from Director.
Embedded Flash movies are able to make calls to Director, which in turn can call DLL's ( or can use Xtra's that can do this). Can this be a possible solution? This technique has been used on a project I worked on recently. Flash was used because the application had to be scaled to the web, but was originally used on a CD. The Director app used a VBA Xtra to produce a Word doc that was then stored on the machine. Are we getting warmer?

I am betting that it won't be possible. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: Sam Westlake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 May 2004 15:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] SOT: Calling .NET DLLs from Flash Have you considered embedding Flash movies in a Director shockwave file? This will give you access to .dll's and Xtras. Especially if you need to write to disk or access a data source. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Harrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 May 2004 15:43 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] SOT: Calling .NET DLLs from Flash ... from within a Flash animation. I guess it's just not meant to do that. Can Flash call any Win32 APIs? Can it host ActiveX components? Can it read and write a local file? I'd have to implement a mini web server that starts at runtime just to get the Flash animation to talk to the C# assembly. I cannot install IIS on users' machines. - Peter -----Original Message----- From: Snake Hollywood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 May 2004 15:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] SOT: Calling .NET DLLs from Flash So your talking about executing client side .NET SDK code on a amchine that has this installed? > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Harrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 May 2004 15:24 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] SOT: Calling .NET DLLs from Flash > > > This would all be client-side, so I'd rather not have a server > involved. > > Deployment will be via a software installer that is downloaded. > > - Peter > > -----Original Message----- > From: Snake Hollywood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 11 May 2004 14:59 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] SOT: Calling .NET DLLs from Flash > > > Is this .NET code u want to call as though form a browser, or simply > execute it on the server? > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Peter Harrison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: 11 May 2004 14:50 > > To: cfdev > > Subject: [ cf-dev ] SOT: Calling .NET DLLs from Flash > > > > > > Hi all > > > > Sorry for the SOT post, but I know we have some Flash gurus amongst > > us. > > > > What is the best way to call some .NET code (probably will be in a > > DLL if possible) from Flash (.swf)? > > > > I am even considering a web service but I'd like it to communicate > > quite often during one second. > > > > The swf will exist on the same host as the DLL (or whatever), and > > the .NET part will be coded in C#. > > > > I don't have Flash installed on my computer at the moment, but if it > > can be done then I'll start down that road. > > > > Ideas, tips and flames please.
