If you're looking for best/fastest communication between Flash and Java to send complex data, I would suggest using an AMF protocol such as OpenAMF. The other two options are XML or WebServices. AMF is faster because it's all binary and you use Java VO's (converted to Flash Objects with the same data type/name) to send data back and forth.

ATM we are using SWT Flash and it's FSCommand handling. I would like to go a bit further to be able to send complex objects via ExternalInterface. I know there is Javaflash (HYPERLINK "http://www.osflash.org/javaflash/"http://www.osflash.org/javaflash/) out there but the official website is so slow and it seems to be still in beta. Basically, we are using Flash as GUI for a Java backend. We'll need to send back and forth some complex objects. We are currently exploring the possiblity of using XML to send values. What solution would be the best ? Meaning which one gets the fastest response, stability and extendability. Are there any other options or howto's than FSCommand ? any link or tips are welcome. Or is Javaflash stable enough for use in a commercial App ? Thanks in advance ! Alain No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
