Mark,
I just started researching similar solutions today. I looked at the
code on the ActiveSpell web site:
<script language="JavaScript" src="spell.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<form name="myForm">
<textarea name="content">I am speled wrang</textarea>
<input type="button" value="Check Spelling" onClick="spell
('document.myForm.content.value');" />
</form>
In theory, it might work. If you use a .cfm page to embed you .swf
object. Put the javascript call in the .cfm then call from the .swf
(flex) object.
Here's an option to call javascript in action script 3.0:
public var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("javascript:window.close
()");
I'm just not sure what happens when the javascript exectutes, how
does the Flash player get the miss spelled words back?
If you get a chance to test this out, please post your findings.
Good Luck! :)
