I have a friend that would posed a question on another user group that I am on and was wondering if any of you might have a solution.
Here is the questions that was posed. "hey all... i have a question that i've been trying to find an answer to, and figured that maybe there would be an off chance that there would be someone here who would have an answer. i've been in the process of building a client / server application that uses some system calls for things like keyboard / mouse detection and file system change detection... and it's built in C++ using TrollTech's Qt cross platform application development environment... (basically a set of cross platform gui tools). http://trolltech.com/ anyhow... the web interface for this project is using flex with ColdFusion, and we wanted to take advantage of the cross platform capabilities within Apollo using Flex for the client instead of the proof of concept using Qt and C++. the problem is, i have not come across anything within AS3 that will allow me to make calls to the system for the things that i need, and it does not seem that i can extend existing components written in .NET or make API calls to the OS at all. it seems that Apollo will give me access to the file system, but only on a read / write basis... and this is too high a level for what i'm needing the application to do. so... i guess that my question is... has anyone had any experience with making OS level system calls to MAC or Windows using AS3? " thanks, -Matthew
