Hi Pedro - thanks for your advice - I`ve downloaded zinc as suggested, & got a standard flash application set-up(but not yet working)for reading the comm ports using the zinc additional FScommands(as per the Zinc literature) however for the PPC version i`ve downloaded these Comm FScommands are not listed in the literature.
If i include the same actionscript in my programm when i render the application for pocketPC will these Comm port fscommands still be supported, or is there a different method that must be used to read/access the comm port of a PPC ?
