Ok I am in the same boat and very confused...
1) I have a flash front end menu. They click on a link and it takes
them to a normal html/css webobjects page.
2) Next, if they hit home on the html/css page to go to an almost
static flash page.
I need to:
1) What URL can I use in the flash? I can't seem to make a relative
reference work to a direct action from flash. Do they have to be
full URLs?
Yup. As far as I can tell, they need to be fully qualified. I set the
root url as a property and pass it in to the Flash doohickey.
2) How do I let flash know the sessionid and then pass it back?
We passed the sessionID into the Flash doohickey by appending it to
the URL that opened it. In our WO app, we spawned a new page that
would wrap the Flash doohickey and used the embed tag. Something like
this:
<embed name="Interface_217" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; align=""
width="100%" height="99%" bgcolor="#fffff0" quality="high"
src="http://localhost/sc/Interface_232.swf?url=http://localhost:55055/
cgi-bin/WebObjects/SCTools.woa/wa/
ec&id=1&entity=exercise&wosid=Nl5kooT5lHLCS1VNCk25q0"></embed>
The "src" attribute contains the path to the Flash thingie with the
base url to the DirectActions we'll be calling along with some other
parameters including the SessionID.
After the Flash goober is initialized the rest of the communication
was through XML messages, each contained the SessionID as an
attribute. However we could have just appended the SessionID to the
DirectAction URL as a parameter and that would have worked as well
(see the bottom of this post <http://david.codeferous.com/?p=77>).
Hope that helps.
