Re: [flexcoders] Calling C++ app or service from flex on Mac

[Kamal99]

 I already have a C++ dll that I have invoked with flex on the Windows side
using an Active/X plugin successfully 

We are also trying to do something similar. Can you please tell us how you
did this part successfully? Thanks. Kamal

I have been moving forward with binding C++ objects into AppWeb which
allows you to bind native DLL's (C or C++) into a pretty lightweight
HTTP Server and calling it with an HTTP client. AppWeb is pretty neat as
it has a rudimentary scripting language.

Subject: [flexcoders] Calling C++ app or service from flex on Mac

 

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
