Currently we're using Flash 8, but switching to Flex is also an option.
The thing is that we are building a Java Desktop Application, forgot to
mention that, it's not a web application.
FYI, ExternalInterface can be used with any other platform if the proper
hooks are in place. It can be done with JavaScript, C# and Java (with
JavaFlash)
As I said JavaFlash is still in beta and I'm looking for other options,
but not web options as Robert proposed. Thanks for the advice tho !
We have FLash running inside a widget created by SWT Flash. Inside it we
can use a flashobject widget with code looking like this :
flashobject.setVariable(String name, String value)
wich is the basic setVariable sending only strings. We need to be able
to call Flash Methods as well, so we would like to do
flashobject.FlashMethodCall(args)
So far the only thing we can do is use FSCommand and pass variables as
strings ... If it's the only option, we'll go back to the old "parse the
string to extract your data" way.
Otherwise any other option is welcome ! :)
Thanks !

Hi All,
we're at a point in a project where we need good communication
between Flash
and Java. ATM we are using SWT Flash and it's FSCommand handling. I
would
like to go a bit further to be able to send complex objects via
ExternalInterface. I know there is Javaflash (HYPERLINK
"http://www.osflash.org/javaflash/"http://www.osflash.org/javaflash/)
out
there but the official website is so slow and it seems to be still in
beta.
Basically, we are using Flash as GUI for a Java backend. We'll need
to send
back and forth some complex objects. We are currently exploring the
possiblity of using XML to send values.
I'm confused. Communicating with a back end would be better done with
mx.rpc classes or something like that, no? ExternalInterface is
usually for communicating with JavaScript, not Java.
Which version of Flash are you using?
