Jason, The one way, I followed previously was like:
Create a socket server (VC++ based or whatever) which is running on some port. If you plan to have flash client version is 9+ then, it would be better if you have binary socket server. That socket server can have access to Microsoft Office APIs, thorough COM interface. You can pass socket server commands to fetch calendar details from outlook etc., and actually socket server will do that operation and pass the result back to flash. We are developing some product like this which is having integration with outlook. Again this socket server can be a part of your outlook plug-in itself or can be run as system service. Hope this helps :) Regards, Ashvin Savani - Arckid Freelance Developer - Arckid.com Founder & CTO - Avinashi.com Adobe Community Expert - Flash -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 3:38 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: [Flashcoders] Outlook and Flash I know with the security of the Flash player, it's probably not possible or easy (unless MS has some sort of webservice for Exchange servers built in or something) to grab a person's Outlook Calendar or Task list - but what about a Flash desktop application - is that information available through some API? Can a third party app for Flash be used to call an application which will retrieve this data? I know there would be security issues on that too, but I was tasked to investigate this. I might have some resources to write that application, but wouldn't know what the possibilities would be on the Flash end. Anyone done any integration with Outlook before? Thanks.
