You may want to explore Apollo. It allows for RIAs to be developed for the desktop. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/apollo/
Another option would be asking around on flexcoders. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/ ~D.C. Holth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bharat Varma Sent: Monday, June 04, 2007 10:08 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Flashcoders] AS3.0 and C++ Hi, I am developing an application where I would like to use Flex to talk to some dlls / exe installed on the local machine, through a browser. The DLLs (and or) EXE will be installed using an installer. The workflow I would like working on the client machine is the swf (created by Flex) getting loaded in the browser and communicating with the dlls installed on the machine. I guess one way would be to use External Interface and do a Action Script <-> Java Script <-> ActiveX (for IE) / np dll (for FF) I would like to avoid installing any new activex control for my application. I do not need any GUI for my application either. Is there another way to directly communicate with the dlls and completely avoid activex (or equivalent in FF) ? Also, material on ExternalInterface to Win32 C++ dlls communication seems really sparse. Can some one point me in the right direction ?
