2008-07-20 Thread Cato Paus
hm yes, we need to vote for it, I have filed a fr 
so go and vote 
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-247 

I suspect that we will have it, probably something that wil come a 
long with the OpenScreen Project. So we dont have to start writing 
code to PS3, WII and so on! Just a thought :)

 Why don't you use a signed java applet? You could simply load it in
 the wrapper html file (with size set to 0, if you don't want that 
java
 swing stuff in your UI), and then interact with it using the flex
 ExternalInterface and applet's NSObject.
 
 I use this solution to allow direct TWAIN image scanning in my Flex
 application. The only problem with it is that the ExternalInterface
 doesn't seem very reliable for exchanging more than small simple
 variables - very long strings and binary data seems to cause 
troubles.

 It would be great if AIR and Flash player can have USB API for those

   There is an obvious solution:

 Flex/AIR - Web Services (or similar) - USB

  USB communication from a web site ? I think not... unless you want
 Joe Random
