Hi everyone,

I am in dire need of being able to call a C++ app or service on Mac from
flex. I am willing to go the AIR way for this though that's not optimal. I
have spent some time trying to figure out the Netscape plugin architecture
which is supported on safari but it's sub-optimal for me to go that route.

I already have a C++ dll that I have invoked with flex on the Windows side
using an Active/X plugin successfully. Now I need to compile the dll into
some format on Mac and then communicate back and forth with flex.

I have seen some open source bridge projects that enclose flash player in an
MFC object but that doesn't help me on mac.

Is it as simple as doing some Netstream class from flex to connect to either
an app or a service (if there are services on Mac like there are on Windows)
and just do a localhost communication back and forth? If so, what are the
limitations of such approaches? Any sample apps out there?

Regards
Priyanka
