heh since when did I say .dll files under Mac? you ofcourse will have to dispatch both the .dll and the .so files with it and program your apollo app to see if your running on windows or linux or mac ( I don't know much about the mac ) to use the correct dynamic library...
and I don't use VB thanks like I said before.... I like to be cross platform On 2/2/07, Shannon Hicks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The real value of Apollo would be cross-platform applications. I can't run your DLL's on my Mac. If you need DLL's, use VB to build your app, and don't tease me with the false hope of a cross-platform application by building with Apollo and then ruining it with windows-only code. :) Shan Jason Hawryluk wrote: I have to agree here, if we can't extend it with our own dll's then what is the real value proposition for Apollo. I think support for dll's is important (com, managed, other). Allowing us to reuse our existing middle tiers/frameworks, and use Apollo to create engaging user experiences. jason -----Message d'origine----- *De :* [email protected] [mailto:flexcoders@ <flexcoders@> yahoogroups.com]*De la part de* Jerome Clarke a.k.a sinatosk *Envoyé :* vendredi 2 février 2007 16:54 *À :* [email protected] *Objet :* Re: [flexcoders] Apollo features To be honest... all this talk I've been hearing about Apollo being used as desktop applications using web technologies... I would kinda expect that you can launch exe passing parameters ( like CLI style or something similar ), talk to dynamic libraries like .dll ( Windows ), .so ( Linux )... kinda surprised it doesn't support any of that yet... yet they call it desktop applications... it's more like their own browser in my opinion... I doubt this is how Apollo will be all the way. But if it does... can't say people will move to it quickly while MDM Zinc is there being able to do all of that ( regardless Zinc is free or not ) and WPF/E I had plans to write applications where I can use SQLite, MySQL, GD2, run servers using TCP/IP on specific ports and ip addresses, video codecs like divx, xvid and others... if all I can do is talk to the file system then I may aswell stick with Flex 2... The only use I can see that for is for offline storage applications like the ebay application and Amazon application... Thats what alot of people want to do anyways but thats not the only thing they want to do... but then again I'm assuming quite abit here... I havn't got full info about Apollo... but what I've been hearing about WPF/E compared to Apollo... I'm assuming Apollo can't do some of the things I said above and I'm not interested in WPF/E. As far as I know... only works on Windows but I still watch it to see what people say about it... I like to be cross platform I use Flex 2 alot for the things I'm doing now. I don't think I will be using Apollo as much as I thought I predicted as I do with Flex 2 On 2/2/07, Kevin Newman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tom Chiverton wrote: > > Does anyone or has read somewhere, if Apollo will allow you to launch > native > > local applications ? > > > As far as I know, Apollo is using webkit, does this include the ability > to run other plugins besides Flash (like Java)? > > If so, can you use one of those other plugins (java, or perhaps a custom > > plugin) to access native dlls and such by communicating from Flash to > Javascript, then to the other plugin in Javascript? > > Kevin N. > >
