Hi,

I posted this message on the Flash Lite for BREW forum on the Adobe forum site as well, but just in case, I am posting it here as well.

I am developing a demo Flash Lite application and need some functionality that is not provided by the Flash Lite platform. I would like to be able to launch an external BREW application from ActionScript. How exactly can I do that? Is it possible to use BREW extensions (not applications) from ActionScript?

Thanks,

Jeff

one way that developers extend flash lite is to use a native application that acts as a local server. Flash Lite 2.1 for BREW supports the xml socket, so you could in theory send data from Flash Lite to the native application and receive an xml response from the application.

I am not sure of the specifics for how this would work on BREW platform though.

You can send SMS to your application via getURL sms using APP Id ("you specify "appid=0x<ID>") and that would work.

I tried using getURL but it seems that it is not supported in Moto Razr V3C.
Has somebody implemented getURL successfully?
