[flexcoders] accessing flex functions from outside an app
hi guys, i'm fairly new to flex but ok with my as3. have built an app with all functionality enclosed but in the real life version part of the nav will not be flex, perhaps HTML. What, if any, are the best ways to trigger state changes and functions from outside a flex app? is this possible? i have looked around for answers but it seems to be a fuzzy thing to search for. hope you can help, el_koose

Read up on ExternalInterface. You can expose functions to the outside using it. Gk.

Re: [flexcoders] accessing flex functions from outside an app
You can take advantage of following things 1. navigateToURL() - fro calling javascript function from Flex check browser comptability 2. flash.netExternalInterface - with call () and callable () to call function flex to javascript and vis versa 3. FA Bridge - Flez AJAX bridge : wraped ExternalInterface to provide simplicity to call function from flex java JS and JS to flex.
