RE: [Flashcoders] You cannot debug this SWF because it does not contain any Actionscript

He told me it would be at least two months for the Windows AS3 Update of mProjector. Could even be some considerable more time. The mac AS3 version is out in beta as you said. The official release would be sooner than the Windows version but ScreenTime couldn't give an exact date for neiher. We will be dealing with the OS, reading and writing and most propably some networking too. I checked out Zinc. My first thoughts were that it ran rather slow. Seems to me mProjector is more integrated into the production process. It will be a long term project. Maybe we'll get back on this. As for now, if I would have to select an option, I'd choose to sit and wait for the AS3 mProjector. Although sitting and waiting will be something we won't be doing here, that's for sure. Cheers, Bart Rich Shupe schreef: If you are only READING files, you have a bit more options. If you are writing files, or dealing with the OS extensively in traditional application ways, you pretty much have to go with a projector enhancer. You can't really use the browser, and you can't use AIR. Some may say that their are other options by extending those environments (server-based saving--to server or locally, Java applets that add functionality to the browser, etc., but I don't consider them realities for the average user. mProjector is AS3-stable on the Mac, but not yet released on Windows, so that probably isn't a reality for an AS3 project. I've heard good and terrible things about Zinc, so I can't offer any opinions there. I'm sure others have used it and may be able to help. Finally, I've never had the slightest interest in any product that isn't cross-platform, so I can't speak to any of the Windows-only, or Mac-only (if there are any) options. Anyone else have any opinions on proj-enhancers? On 4/29/08 2:31 PM, Bart Goormans wrote: Our app will be a sort of backoffice in which we will be dealing with the filesystem extensively.

RE: [Flashcoders] Outlook and Flash
On the desktop you just need a COM/Automation capable shell(projector). Outlook exposes a complete COM object model with all the required data.

Can a third party app for Flash be used to call an application which will retrieve this data? I know there would be security issues on that too, but I was tasked to investigate this. I might have some resources to write that application, but wouldn't know what the possibilities would be on the Flash end. Anyone done any integration with Outlook before? Thanks. Microsoft does offer Outlook Webmail, and this browser UI does show contact scheduling info. I don't know if it can directly serve things other than full HTML pages, but if you own both ends of the transaction then it should be possible to put a screenscraping proxy server in the middle. For third party app, a lot depends on the native-code shell you use around the Adobe Flash Player wrapper. The default Projector in the Macromedia Flash Professional authoring tool is a simple shell without deep access to system-level calls, but third-party shells can expose any local API they wish. I'm not sure how well MS Outlook local data is exposed, however, or even whether that information is stored on the local machine. Maybe the Microsoft docs would have more, on which ways they expose Outlook's Calendar or Tasks to alternative shells...? Once that is known, it can help figure things out on the client end. jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .

RE: [Flashcoders] Webservices and .NET array serialization
Hi Jason, No worries, I think I was too upset for building a similar sample and only after that to realize that it will never trace Array :) Zoli -Original Message- From: Merrill, Jason [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 26, 2006 3:03 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Webservices and .NET array serialization Zoli, I see now, yes, thanks. Sorry if that sounded terse, I didn't get what you meant to say at first. I got it working, I think initially my problem was due to the asynchronous nature of Webservices - once I fixed the method handlers properly, and waited for the load, it worked. The problem was compounded by the fact I am creating an RIA that edits another Flash presentation, both of which use Webservices and I needed to be sure they were both ready for the data. In sending data back, I also needed to be sure if I create new arrays of objects, the objects have all the same properties as well, even if they aren't used since the C# script expects it. Anyway, hope that helps Stephen or anyone who comes across this in the archives.

David is correct, LocalConnection does not write to a file--it uses shared memory. I'm not an expert on LocalConnection, but it doesn't surprise me that you can experience some latency if a dozen SWF files are all sharing memory with a single gateway SWF file. The beleaguered gateway SWF would have to manage a dozen different shared memory allocations (and I believe there is polling involved). As for the original question about communicating with a VB application, if you can publish for Flash Player 8, ExternalInterface is the way to go.

I can't say for sure whether LocalConnection writes to a file or not, but I did want to point out that it can be pretty slow, depending on the number of swfs talking to the gateway swf at once. It certainly SEEMED like it was doing some file IO. In my experience, 10 or 12 swfs talking to the gateway swf through LocalConnection (at once) caused some pretty serious latency.
