[Flashcoders] Flash + jQuery
What's the best way to get Flash and jQuery communicating? * I'll need flash to access a rails server via jQuery * Also be doing a lot of javascript work on the client and need updates to flow through to flash. I'd prefer a solution that was flexible and robust, rather than quick and easy. There will need to be a lot of communication later on.

Why not use ExternalInterface.call('functionName')?

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + jQuery
That'll do the trick, I was wondering whether there was a framework or
paradigm for dealing with this as it things scale.
The app we're building is quite large and we need to keep it maintainable.
We work on RobotLegs, so I suppose some of this would fit into the
services section, but other parts would fit in to the views, so it
feels like it could get a bit out of hand.
It's a bit simpler when some the divide is server side, but when
you've got two client side systems running side by side the
conventions I've seen seem to break down.

Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + jQuery
You sure that you need javascript to access the server? Flash is perfectly capable of making http requests on it's own. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Flash + jQuery
You could look into using a Proxy class inside of Flash, to wrap method calls to ExternalInterface calls. http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/utils/Proxy.html It's easy to set up, and actually is pretty common for remote procedure calls.
