Hi folks,
Does anyone know whether there's a way to call native code from a Flash SWF or
AIR app, for example to call functions in a DLL? Something like Java's JNI but
for Flash?
I realize it's possible to read and write local data files from a SWF (using
FileReference) or from an AIR app

Hi Paul, thanks for the quick response.
The use case would be to call some CPU-intensive audio signal processing code,
most likely written in C++ and packaged as a DLL. The idea is that a SWF (or
AIR app) would try to detect the presence of the DLL on the user's machine; if
the DLL is

I should add that one of the reasons it may not be possible, is the
possibility of calling malevolent code from flash violating the security
sandbox or just code that could crash the flash player/browser itself. I
think Adobe will be reluctant to have a feature that risks sandbox
security or
Hi Gerry,
Can you utilize php as a mediator?
Flash-PHP-DLL
PHP eg:
?php
if (is_file(path/To/yourfile.dll)) {
// true; we can proceed
//code to execute dll, format and send results to flash here
} else {
return false;
}
?

I think there would be a huge latency, which would defeat the purpose.
The fastest alternative I know would be an socket server on the same
machine as the flash app. The socket server
Hi Paul, Gerry,
Are these runtime calls, or calls to set up runtime?
How is the swf published? Local? Server?
If Local, you could try javascript.
Calling the javascript before you need the results in flash.
Then que the results so there is no latency, like a buffer?
If server, I would go with

Duly noted. I guess I am not understanding the quickness this has to
be done.

Yes. Alchemy still runs on the ActionScript Virtual Machine, though, so it's
not particularly fast. Nowhere near as fast
Hi,
Having tried the Ogg encoding program someone wrote as a demo, I am
inclined to agree - to work around this, I used AIR's Native Process API
to launch the oggenc encoder to encode wav files.
If the northcode DLL stuff is no good, maybe consider running your
DLL in an application
Embed the flash player in your own native application. Then add stuff to
the api using high level magic and there you go, new stuff for
actionscript to use.

Gerry,
If you can go with an app, check out Zinc. It offers several system
interfaces, including invoking DLLs directly:

It attracted some poor comments at one time - I don't know if that has
changed.
Or Pixel Bender - I've heard you can do some heavy processing with that too.
Additionally, HaXe has some ways to avoid some of the overhead of
Alchemy when using it from AS3. You'd have to do a lot in haxe instead
of AS3, but you can use the alchemy stuff though inlining, which

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for this! Definitely interesting. In my limited testing with Alchemy, I
found that getting large amounts of data across the AS3-Alchemy boundary using
ByteArrays was indeed a major bottleneck, so anything that eliminates that
bottleneck is welcome indeed!

Hi Gerry,
Alchemy optimizations. They look like good reads.
Hope they are along the lines of what your looking for.

Thanks Karl for the excellent links on Alchemy optimizations! Man this stuff is
fiddly. If Adobe could just make their AS VM run as fast as the C# one, devs
wouldn't need to jump through these hoops!
BTW, does anyone know whether is Alchemy still pre-release? The Alchemy page
