It should be possible by using something like perhaps a .dll and a Flash
wrapper - in theory.  For example, the WiiFlash server allows a Wiimote
to communicate to a Bluetooth dongle and on to the Flash file.  We built
some Flash games that are controlled with a Wiimote and a Bluetooth
dongle using WiiFlash server (which I believe is just a Zinc or
mProjector exe which can talk to the dongle and/or Windows COM of some
sort).  The communication works both ways too - the Wiimote controller
can control sprites and events in a Flash file, and the Flash file can
do things to the Wiimote like make it rumble. I can't tell you more than
that, but you might try and ask on the WiiFlash forums how they built
the WiiFlash server to get Bluetooth communication happening between the
Flash file and the dongle.

Subject: [Flashcoders] Flash apps via bluetooth

Hi,

   I am working on a project with a control interface that has a "little

brother" for Pocket PC, but I was wondering if it is possible to develop

another version for mobiles that can be downloaded via bluetooth.

   The idea is that the mobile interface could be used to control a 
system in close proximity and the SWF would be served via bluetooth from

something close by.  The app would also need to be able to talk to a 
central server using XML or similar and I am not sure whether I would 
need an internet connection or if this could be done over bluetooth too?

   Can anyone give me any pointers to useful info - I have found the 
"Mobile & Devices Devnet" site on Adobe and also googling, but any good 
sources would be useful.

   Cheers

   Glen
