flash container

[dougiem]

I have been working on a speech project to send text data and talk from an html page to a win application.
I had some success using an embeddeded browser on my win app and loading a .swf to transfer info
using the actionscript 'extenal InterfaceCall' and system.sendclipdata()'.
In flash player 10 this is now not possible.
What I should be doing is looking for a win32 Flash container which can use the the flash externalInterface
to communicate with hWin directly. Unfortunately I can find no such source animal !
any help ? ....... thanks

Hi
check this link http://www.masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=11558.0. It is the source of a generic ocx container. in the demo, MSChart is used to demonstrate how it works. The current Flashplayer also works with this code.

I managed to get source for a flash container by G Friedrich, however trying to
compile it requires MIDL.EXE in masm32\bin\
I dont seem to have this on my XP (SP3) machine ??
after 17 google pages still cant get a download - any help ?

On my system I find version 6.0.361.1 in a PSDK from 2003 and 6.0.366.1 in a DDK from 2005, so you may be able to get a compatible version in a recent PSDK or DDK.
