Hi people,
I've got a project that requires hardware communication between a Flash
kiosk-projector and a few hardwares (eg: scanner, biometric fingerprint
reader, smart card reader).
What is required is that all this are to be operated seamlessly without any
other application dialogs popping up

Hi Daniel,
A number of Flash wrappers (i.e. programs to turn Flash movies into
.exe files) can handle extensions (.dlls) written in native code. So
you could write or buy extensions to interface with almost anything at
a system level - without additional dialogs etc.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the reply.
I failed to mention that I be deploying the kiosk with Adobe AIR and because
of that wrappers wouldn't be able to support it as per Adobe's licensing for
the runtime, unless I'm mistaken which I hope I am.

Hi Daniel,
There isn't an easy solution for AIR - can I ask why you're using AIR
if it doesn't do what you want it to?
There _is_ a way of doing it with AIR, but it's tricky.
What you'd need to do is to create a standalone socket server on your
host machine that interfaces with the relevant
Haven't done it myself, but it should be possible.
Just put the *.ttf file on the server (via Flash/HTML and backend, no
AIR needed) and then run swfmill *on the server* to create the swf.
You need of course full access to the server to install swfmill.
Cheers!

Yup, sockets are your friend. You don't need a wrapper. You can get some
software that can open a bunch of ports too serving as your bridge.
(Comfoolery does this but only on a application instance per COM port) - get
one that allows virtual ports if you need it.

Hi there, I'm using the Delegate class and can't figure out how to
call methods of another class.
I think there is an easy answer to this, any suggestions whole-
heartedly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ali
Here is the syntax I'm using:
import Thermometer
class Animator{

Delegate.create(thermo, allowInteraction)
should become
Delegate.create(thermo, thermo.allowInteraction)

Funny thing, but seems that Googlebot got confused when crawling my Flash site.
About 4 weeks ago I created a test website to see exactly how Google
indexes a Flash site with contents coming from diferent sources:

Yeah - it's because the compiler doesn't know what's inside a Delegate
or how to use it. It's just looking at the word 'allowInteraction' and

its still useful for (kiosks / communication with external devices).
OTOH the current version has so many problems and Director in general

One guy may write a function in a few lines - another may take pages of code
to do the exact same thing. Who has the more logical brain? Who is the
better programmer? My degree and background is in business and accounting.
That fundamental knowledge is key to understanding a business system and to

I'm not sure that's a good criterion. I'm more interested in how well the
code performs, how well it is
I've been a hiring manager for companies such as Sony and Disney, and the
first thing I look at is experience, then a degree--any degree. Though a
degree in a relevant field is nice, the fact that you have a degree shows
that you're motivated, and can stick with something and see it through
Good points Kerry.

That's a good rule of thumb, and words to live by (and study by). Of course,

Right, and that is why I partially agree with the post I was referring to,
specially because life without a college is not for everyone.
Going back to my main point I still believe that not having a degree does
not necessary mean that you are not motivated.

Yeah, sorry, you've lost me now. the textfields won't give
a signal when they are initialized - can you explain that?
What kind of signal

I would guess it means they won't raise

not invoking super() in his subclass's constructor.
You mean, like I suggested in my example code? ;)
