Question: Why can't Flash Player interact with Outlook or OS Level applications? Reason 1: Macromedia Flash Player runs in browser under a sandbox. Access to OS level application might be a security issue. Imagine a case, where a malicious Flex/Flash app steals information from your mail client without your knowledge? Or launches 100 instances of "New Outlook Task", just to irritate you... Similarly there are other genuine reasons. However, you can open a new outlook task with the help of some signed-JavaScript and code would only work in IE. Add following JavaScript function to your HTML page and call createTask() function from Flex app using getURL(..) function createTask() { var outlookApp = new ActiveXObject("Outlook.Application.11"); var task = outlookApp.CreateItem(3) task.Display(); } -abdul -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of tony_lic Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 1:04 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Accessing local mail client from FLEX hi, but what i have to do is to create a new outlook task from flex & not seeing the existing tasks. with regards, tony --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Abdul Qabiz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A quick guess, which is right :) > > getURL("outlook:\\\\tasks"); > > > ##OpenOutlookTasks.mxml## > > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> > <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; > width="600" height="600"> > <mx:Script> > function openTask() > { > getURL("outlook:\\\\tasks"); > } > </mx:Script> > <mx:Button label="Open Tasks" click="openTask()"/> > </mx:Application> > > > > -abdul > > -----Original Message----- > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of tony_lic > Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2005 6:39 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Accessing local mail client from FLEX > > Hi All, > Is there any way to open an outlook task from flex application as we > can open a new mail window by getURL(mailto). > with regards, > tony > > > > > -- > Flexcoders Mailing List > FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt > Search Archives: > http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com > Yahoo!
