RE: [flexcoders] JTwain and Flex

[Andrew Trice]

Rohan, We are working on similar functionality here at Cynergy Systems.  You will need to communicate with your applet using _javascript_.   Have the flex app call a js function that communicates with the applet, and vice versa.  You may want to look into the Flex-AJAX bridge at labs.adobe.com to see how this can be done.   The Flex file upload components are used to upload physical files from the file system to your server.  Look at the FileReference class (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex20beta3/langref//flash/net/FileReference.html).    If there is no physical file, you will need to create a method that allows you to send the image data to the server.  This could be done using a servlet to open a socket between your applet and your server and send the image data across the socket (assuming you are using a java backend).       _____________________________________ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/roller/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY    From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of tinywhistles Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 9:37 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] JTwain and Flex   Hi I am using JTwain to read a scanned image from the Client UI. For this,  I have written an applet which will detect the source attached to the client's machine, scan the image and show it on the user's browser. Then, by using Applet-Servlet communication, I need to store this image in the server's file system. Though this has been possible to achieve, I need to keep my UI as Flex. So, I need to call the applet from inside my Flex UI and render the image on the browser. Also I need to use the file upload functionality to upload this image to the server. Has anyone worked on a similar engagement? How can I use the File-Upload feature to upload the image(java.awt.image object) to the server from my Flex UI ? Inputs please. `Rohan __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
