Well. You can run a swf in Air but I expect that is the least of your headaches.
I mean, what's the real objective. If you need to dynamically create images, why not do that in the server script as you won't have all the other goo? This was figured out years ago as the age of the link will attest. http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-2000/jw-0505-servlets.html K From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of lagos_tout Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 1:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Run swf on server Hi, all. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to implement the following use case: (1) a swf running in a browser on the client-side sends simple numeric data to a server-side script. (2) the server-side script calls a second swf located on the same server as the script, passing it the numeric data. (3) this swf uses the data to generate a layout in flash that is rendered to an image and either (a) returned directly as binary data to the server-side script or (b) saved locally on the server so that the server-side script can access it. It's steps 2 and 3 that have me stumped. How can I call a swf without a browser, and by extension, without the Flash Player? Is there some way to call a swf directly as an executable that can return output to the calling process? Thanks much! LT
