Re: [flexcoders] Flash access to a local serial or USB port

[Jeremy Lu]

Direct communication with USB/Serial is not possible.But Flash -> C++/C# wrapper -> USB/Serial is very possible.this means : you need to tie into another resource for communications, wrap activeX inside another binary).

            I'm interested in presenting users with a web page that contains a
flash object that can communicate to a device on a serial or USB
connection (think camera or GPS unit).  It needs to be able to detect
active USB connections and do basic serial communications over USB or
a serial port.  There will also be devices that use a USB 'mass
storage device profile' (look like a hard drive).

So is this a practical use of Flash?  Can I do it natively, or will I
need to tie into another resource for communications (activeX control
or some other binary)?  The ideal solution would work on Explorer and
Firefox, Windows and Mac.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks!
Spencer
