Is it possible to use any IPC mechanism for calling a c++ api from Adobe Flash actionscript? Are there any good examples?
Update: I primarily want it for desktop apps now i.e Adobe's/or anyuone else's desktop runtimes
Hello I am wondering if any of you know of a way to turn the throttle down (sleep) mechanism off when a C++ app is hosting the flash activeX control. The flash control is invisible in this case and so the flash app will throttle down. Tinic Uro does not seem to be answering questions related to work arounds for apps that might not want flash to throttle down.
This is especially annoying when you are hosting the flash control in your own application.
i allready searched abit around here and found the solution to call a fx:script function defined in a mxml from a AS class.

How can I accomplish complicated loading and unloading mechanism? for example section number one is divided into the blocks. so when you hit the menu button, section is loading by parts...left part, after that center part and then right. when you press next menu button, first of all this section is unloading... center part, then right part, then left part and after that section number two begin to load in a different manner. so question is how can i control that? for loading and unloading i have got functions load_main() unload_main() load_contacts() unload_contacts()
View 5 RepliesI have an ArrayCollection containing bindable objects. I would like to access them in multiple places like below (there's only one label for clarity). How can I achieve that?hould I write some kind of wrapper for ArrayCollection dispatching special event (which?) catchable by Flex event mechanism.

I'm trying to make a Flex (Advanced)DataGrid component with some mechanism where the user can toggle the visibility of the columns. I've crudely implemented this by reading in the columns into the right-click menu, and when a column name is selected here, the visibility is toggled. It works, but it's not the most elegant solution.Specifically, I'm trying to emulate the "datagrid" that Mozilla Thunderbird uses to display emails. Here is an image:
In the upper right, there is an icon over the scroll bar. If there is no scrollbar, the icon remains in the same place. When clicking the icon, it opens up a menu that shows all the possible columns, with the visible ones having a check mark next to them, like this:
Also, the scroll bar always appears under this button, never "pushing" it over into it's own column.I'd like to re-create this in Flex. I believe the menu part and creating a column with a button headerRenderer is easy enough. But I can't figure out how (if at all possible) to do this with the scrollbar, because the scrollbar always seems to be "its own column".
I'm using the official Adobe Facebook API in my Flash/AS3 application and for some reason the call the /me/picture seems to fail whereas the the call the /me/friends seems to work just fine: This works OK:

protected function onFriendsLoaded( response:Object, fail:Object ) : void

View 2 Repliesthere's a need to select a mechanism, allowing user to hide/show columns in a DataGrid.One of suggested ways is adding a button (which looks like a column header, but with no column). When user clicks on it, the list of columns comes and user may select columns to hide/show. But is there any way to have such column in a grid (just a header with no column .. as example - you may see the grid in Mozilla Thunderbird)?
The other, less likely way, was the popup list, appearing when mouse hover the DataGrid. But this list would be used rarely. So, this flashing list would be just a headache for an end-user.
The ways with mouse-clicking .. I'm just afraid, that they would be left unnoticed and user would have a hard days while using a grids with a dozens columns.
Edit #1Maybe it would be better if I just provide a pic of this magical "header with no column", to escape confusion ..
Here's it .. there's a clickable column-header in a grid, but there's no column under it ..
Edit #2There's some area right above scrollbar in the dataGrid, it might be the right place for putting this functionality .. but it seems like I can't use it.
I want to include a "continue" mechanism in my game. Like, when someone turns my game off and plays it again, after a day or two, it should continue from the point it was on before the game was turned off.

I'm trying to set a variable in AS3 and then use an event to call that variable. The links are set in an xml file. I have it working with hyperlinks using navigateToURL, but it's not doing exactly what I want. What I want is to use flash to call the link in the xml file. That link will target a javascript function. There is no need to open a new window. I'm trying to target a particular div on the page. Here's what I have so far:
import flash.net.navigateToURL;import com.flashloaded.as3.PhotoFlowEvent;function eventHandler (eo:PhotoFlowEvent):void {var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(eo.data.link);navigateToURL (request,"_self");}

I'm thinking there must be a way to set the variable and then use ExternalInterface in flash to do the rest of the work?

I can't get it to work correctly, I get weird messages like "Call to undefined method removeChild" and it pointing to the redrawMap function. Which means it found the function, but I can't seem to do anything with it.
I got two AS3 functions. One that toggles fullscreen and one that is called with javascript with ExternalInterface that only logs "Hello World". Both works well in the browser, but if I try to call the fullscreen function with javascript the same way, i get an error like this: Error calling method on NPObject! I googled that problem but that only had something to do with same domain access, and sinced it worked with the other function, it has to be something else.
