Hi Gerry,
Can you utilize php as a mediator?
Flash<->PHP<->DLL
PHP eg:
<?php
if (is_file("path/To/yourfile.dll")) {
// true; we can proceed
//code to execute dll, format and send results to flash here
} else {
return false;
}
?>
HTH,
Best,
Karl

Hi Paul, thanks for the quick response.
The use case would be to call some CPU-intensive audio signal
processing code, most likely written in C++ and packaged as a
DLL. The idea is that a SWF (or AIR app) would try to detect the
presence of the DLL on the user's machine; if the DLL is present,
the SWF (or AIR app) would use the native signal processing
functions implemented in it, otherwise it would rely on a
simplified lower-quality implementation coded in AS3.
I can't think of any way to do what you want. All the native code
workarounds I know of really aren't efficient for real-time calls
and the overhead would outweigh the benefit. Be interesting if
anyone suggests a method.

Hi folks,
Does anyone know whether there's a way to call native code from
a Flash SWF or AIR app, for example to call functions in a DLL?
Something like Java's JNI but for Flash?
I have never heard of anyone doing that and I know of no direct
mechanism to do so.
What is your use-case?
I realize it's possible to read and write local data files from
a SWF (using FileReference) or from an AIR app (using the File
class), but that's reading and writing data, not running code. I
also know it's possible to run C code compiled using Alchemy -
but that's not really native code, as Alchemy-compiled code
isn't native code, but rather byte-code that runs on the
ActionScript VM.
