It sounds seriously cool, and I, for one,
will be upset if you fail to post it! Tracy From: Abdul, I have not been busier. Flex/Flash
application use is growing big time. I will be very interested to see Flexcoder
reaction to our new product. If noone objects(?), I would like love to
announce the product Beta on Flexcoders. I am not sure what the Flexcoder list
policy is regarding product/beta announcements? More to come! Ted ;) From: Yeah XMLSocket is always a good option. Ted, looks like you are doing
kick-ass stuff ;) -abdul From: Actually I am working on one right now for
my new company. I am using XMLSocket to connect to a locally running server
combined with data pulled from remote webservices. It is very easy to integrate
just about any feature you need as the local server can provide file system
access and provides seamless read/write into the application. FLEXSWF <> HTTP <> LocalServer FLEXSWF <> XMLSocket <>
LocalServer FLEXSWF <> WS <> RemoteServer I shipped a custom XMLSocket server last
month for a Kiosk installation for Flash integration. The server provided media
conversion for SWF display, PNG/JPG/GIF/AnimatedGIF/WMA/RM all running through
a Flash UI. Additionally we integrated with an MSR (CC Reader) on the IBM
AnyPlace Kiosk which pushed the CC value into Flash as an event. The other option is diving into Central.
Using FileReference and FileReferenceList, you can read, write, upload download
files as needed. All are good options but it depends on
what you need. Having been down the kiosk path as recently as last week, using
a custom XMLSocket/HTTP server is a very solid solution although I think I
stand alone in this effort. Actually if all goes well my new company
will have a public beta of a FlexUI & Custom Server for download within a
weeks time. :) Ted ;) From: 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
