Thanks Tom, > submit the POST yourself : >http://flex.apache.org/asdoc/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html
I guess the issue is my application needs to submit the post, because it has to be running to receive the reply from the post, and continue further processing. The customer's manufacturing code cannot issue this post since it has no idea what to do with the returned data, etc. So I'd need a way for the customer's code to start a flex application and login. After that, the application will do what it needs to do, then logout. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Chiverton" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2015 7:35:23 AM Subject: Re: how to run Flex app programmatically? If you just need to go to a web site and submit a form, the best thing to do is submit the POST yourself : http://flex.apache.org/asdoc/mx/rpc/http/HTTPService.html But it all depends what else you need to send (such as cookie) and if there really are not other steps to take once the form is submitted.
