RE: [flexcoders] Is this possible with Flex 4?
While it may be possible to do this all from FB, for this app, some middleware would help to make the app more robust. Check out Adobe's ColdFusion. There are a few good CF courses on Lynda. --Bill From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of George Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 4:39 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Is this possible with Flex 4? Hey guys! I love this group...I've read a lot of good conversations here. I have a question for you guys. I'm just starting my journey in Flex (been through the Lynda.com training) and I want to create an application like this: 1) Allows the user to add any number of websites to a navigation bar 2) Allows the user to enter information like Name, email, username, and password. 3) When the website is clicked on from the side nav bar, a different part of the screen will automatically go to the website's registration page and auto-fill in the right info (for example, let's say this page: http://questionland.com/signup) and click the button to sign up or register 4) When a different button is pressed, it logs into their email, reads all of the emails, and clicks on all of the activation links Is this possible with Flex? And if so, how (can you guide me to some resources at least)? I know how to do parts 1 and 2. I'm not sure whether flex has the capability to interact between Flex and a website's registration form. I also don't know if Flex can be coded to read through email and click the activation link. Any help would be truly appreciated Thanks so much!
Re: [flexcoders] Is this possible with Flex 4?
I don't think flex can interact with a third party website *except* to post data to that website. It would be a major security risk if you could do all of this. AIR may be able to do it but I believe only if the origional website owners have a crossdomain.xml file.
