so what do you think on providing a sample of this interaction, useful
also to us to see if all works in the right way, ok ?
Sounds good.
And a last thing, not strictly related to this:
with Flash / Flex, an interesting feature is that when desired, it's
possible to enable linkage to an element in the movie to the outside
page (with a link from a page, or via Javascript), so for example i
could refer to a screen or a button or other from the browser, with an
url like "page.html#myMovieLinkedElement" or similar.
At the moment I don't find a link to some sample, sorry.
In our applets we can do a simplified version of this passing an
argument, ok ... but what do you think ?
You can get access to the Pivot application instance from the applet.
You can then access any properties and methods exposed by the
application. For example, from the "DOM Interaction" demo:
var domTestApplet = document.getElementById("domTestApplet");
domTestApplet.getApplication().sayHello("Hello from JavaScript!");
And are we able to make things like stop /start / pause / resume
application, could be useful for some things ...
Technically, since you can get a reference to the application, you can
call these methods. I'm not sure I would recommend it, though. These
methods are really only meant to be called by the application context.
