a couple of years ago i accomplished this by placing the WOSession
into a cookie accessible by Flash and WO. This was done in flash 6
or 7.
basically, WO sets cookie, Flash loads data based on cookie and Flash
sends XML/pain text data back to WO.
not sure what your flash application is and if you need flash<-
asynchronous ->WO communication. but last week i installed a Flash
slideshow into my WO CMS using the Flash8 "FlashVars" variable in
the <object> and <embed> tages. passing data into flash was real
simple.
i bound a WOString to the FlashVars variable that tells flash where
to load the XML. then flash grabs the appropriate XML
one GOTCHA i've found is that Flash doesn't parse the "&" symbol in
long links properly. i.e, "/doThis?id=2§ion=45&group=5".
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"
codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/
swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="550" height="400" id="slideshow"
align="middle">
<param name="FlashVars" value="xmlfile=/cgi-bin/WebObjects/
PWDA.woa/wa/loadFlashSlideXML?galleryId=50" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="movie" value="/slideshow.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" />
<embed FlashVars="xmlfile=/cgi-bin/WebObjects/PWDA.woa/wa/
loadFlashSlideXML?galleryId=50" src="/slideshow.swf" quality="high"
bgcolor="#ffffff" width="550" height="400"
name="slideshow" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://
www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
/> </object>
you can see the result on this page:

I need to integrate a user interface built in Flash with WebObjects
so that the Flash interface is associated with the current user
(through the session). I see that in a recent post Chuck Hill
mentioned that he has done this before. Can Chuck or someone else
explain how this is done? How do I pass data from and to the Flash
interface using WebObjects? What are the main steps? Code examples
of any Java, JavaScript, HTML, ActionScript, etc. would be very
helpful. :)
Thanks,
