Re: [flexcoders] Re: passing variables between two consecutive flex applications
here is my implemented solution, may be useful for some others; i have written an top page which include an iframe (width height 100%) the first view calls javascript via external interface and it calls it's parent, saves the xml data; then the parent navigates iframe to the other page, then the new page requests the xml via javascript. i work fineefficientno server side scripting. i anyone request, i can send the codes. thanks to helpers.

1. Use LocalConnection -- see the API doc at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/langref/flash/net/LocalConnection.html 2. Use ExternalInterface to write your xml string to a variable attached to javascript window -- see http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Partsfile=19_External_Interface_178_3.html and http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window , or read a book about javascript. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, yigit [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi all, i have 2 sperate flex applications (say A B), the user first uses A, then B; and A has to pass an XML file to B. i just could not find a way to pass the xml. it is long so i can not use GET method (so Application.application.parameters) and i do not want to use a server side script to pass xml using flashvars.

sorry, i need to be more clear; the user navigates from application A to application B. so all js object are cleared, and two applications can not talk via localconnection because they are not running at the same time. by the way, an idea came to my mind right now, i can use external interface, set cookies via javascript then navigate to the other page and read values again with external interface; but actually i did not like it (wish it works) but any other solution? by the way, aduston, thanks. aduston1976 wrote On 02/15/2008 04:22 PM: 1.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: passing variables between two consecutive flex applications
actually it does no work :( i can store value to a cookie vie external interface and read in the other application; but when i try to save xml data, since the way to keep cookies via javascript is really weak, it does not work :( i need to make too many escape character control and to make it robust will be diffucult; so I better find another way. i think i will have to add server side help :( any hope?

[flexcoders] Re: passing variables between two consecutive flex applications
i think i will have to add server side help :( any hope? 1. Make the user navigate from one app to the other using javascript rather than by requesting a new html page. You can use swfobject or whatever for this. Then you can still use the ExternalInterface solution. 2. Use the server. Those are your only options.
