Hi Alias, By 'hardware' driver you mean accessing you're proxy, which has the actual hardware driver to your serial port right?
I've done a same sort of implementation for controlling an rca car through flash. But I've used an usb microchip for this and a small http (c++/boost/asio) socket proxy. The response to the car is awesome and I believe it's faster than serial communication. You should try microchip! Mixing hardware & software like that is cool indeed, nice stuff!

Basically, it's a hardware driver written in AS3, which controls an RFID reader via and Arduino board, which can read standard London Underground OysterT cards. Check it out here: http://www.proalias.com/newBlog/2008/05/06/flash-arduino-workshop-2/ If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the list. Cheers, Alias I've done a blog post with a video of my presentation at the workshop, 2008/3/6 AliasT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi guys, > > Just a quick note to let you know that I'm leading a workshop with > the Arduino folks on physical computing wih flash and arduino - a > neat microcontroller board that lets you connect switches, sensors, > motors, lights - anything electronic, really - to flash. > > The event page is here: > http://tinkerit.eventwax.com/h3-arduino--flash-workshop > > "Lead by Alias Cummins and assisted by Brock Craft, this workshop is > aimed at people who are comfortable with Flash, and want to start > experimenting/working with Arduino, but have little or no experience > of physical computing.
