RE: [flexcoders] Flex & external desktop application communication

[Abdul Qabiz]

Yes it can. I have answered similar questions in past, so you can also search archives.     A straight forward way could be communication using LocalConnection API. Embed a flash movie in desktop application, now your flex app can communicate with that flash movie using LocalConnection.                                                                             Flex App <---LocalConnection---------->  Embedded Flash application <---FSCommand----> Desktop Application     In this case, you will be required to write a desktop application that embeds a flash movie. And also write the necessary LocalConnection code... As JD said, there is no "here you go" method, above is just a technique...     -abdul       From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of superabe Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 4:18 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Flex & external desktop application communication Hello list,   I know Flex excels at communicating with server-side data sources. Is there any way for a flex app to communicate with a desktop application installed on the same machine as where the app is being viewed (in a controlled kiosk environment for e.g.)   TIA,   superabe -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
