We have a need to access resources on the local computer. Specifically, devices connected to the serial/parallel/usb/... interfaces. I was wondering how others have succeeded with this in a flex/air environment.
I was hoping that AIR would make this possible, but it doesn't appear so yet. Is this true? Would/could this be possible in the future? Other options? Locally installed app sending data over sockets? I think I remember seeing that flex/air could connect to such an app. Signed activex/applet browser plug-ins? Standard desktop app that sends data to server directly? Just wondering how others have approached this. Thanks
