Another possible option is something along the lines of serial server, http://itp.nyu.edu/~dbo3/SerialServer/SerialServer.html. From the website, "SerialServer relays bytes back and forth from an internet socket connection to a hardware serial port." I've used this to get a flash app talking to picaxe microcontrollers. It takes some tweaking of the command-line parameters, but once you get it right, just save a batch file with the settings you need. -dk ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
Re: [Bulk] RE: [Flashcoders] Serial Port Communication
Thank Steven, Good idea. I'm currently using Northcode to wrap my Flash.exe. I could launch the Director.exe from Northcode and communicate via local connection that way.

RE: [Flashcoders] Serial Port Communication
Flash has no access to the OS. You must use a 3rd party wrapper that allows it, or Director, which does also. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of varfoo > Sent: Tuesday, May 16, 2006 11:36 AM > To: Flashcoders Mailing List > Subject: [Flashcoders] Serial Port Communication > > Hello all, > > I need to create a standalone exe and send commands to an > external device through a serial port.
