If this is the right method, I'm getting unable to find FLASHPLAYERCONTROL.PAS
You should add the path to \FlashPlayerControl\Builder5\ dir to Project Options -> Directories/Conditionals -> Include path.
Also, this call is incorrect:
Code: Select all
FlashPlayerControl1->CallFunction("BorlandDoCommand");
You should write something like that:
Code: Select all
WideString Response = FlashPlayerControl1->CallFunction("<invoke name="CallMeFromApplication" returntype="xml"><arguments><string>Some text for TFlashPlayerControl</string></arguments></invoke>");

I tried Sample7_ExternalInterface
I still get this runtime error
Source File Not Found: FlashPlayerControl.PAS
Here is my code:
Code: Select all
WideString Response;
AnsiString XML = "<invoke name=\"ExternalInterfaceCall\" returntype=\"xml\">";
XML += "<arguments><string>Some text from us to Flash</string></arguments>";
XML += "</invoke>";
Response = FlashPlayerControl1->CallFunction( XML );
ShowMessage("The function returned: " + Response);
I have a question about what the actionscript should look like, this is what I have.
Code: Select all
public function ExternalInterfaceCall
(
inXML:XML
)
:XML
{
return XML("<string>Call Successful</string>");
}
Is that what it should look like?

Yes, runtime error. Only happens when I click the application button (not flash button), so I can send data from Builder to Flash.
I double checked your demo zip file:
http://www.f-in-box.com/download/FlashP ... Delphi.zip
There is no FlashPlayerControl.PAS included with it. Is this intentional?

Could you please send me this EXE to support (at) f-in-box.com
Also, please check Project -> Options -> Packages -> checkbox "Build with runtime packages" should be unchecked.
Yes, it's not included because it's a source code of the component. But applications built with the demo version should work properly without this file.

Everything is already this way.
Zip file link sent.

For those reading this: The problem I was having with the requirement for FlashPlayerControl.PAS during runtime, was at the very start of the application. In fact before the SWF file was running.
Since I am using Flex, In an the Application tag using creationComplete property, I set a function to call fscommand() to my C++ Builder program to notify it that the flash program was up and running. I wouldn't permit any communication to Flash from Builder until I received this notification, setting a global variable in builder to mark that communication was now permissible.
I hope that others running into this runtime error benefit from this knowledge.
All the demos I've seen wait for user interaction before sending data, thus they never show code of waiting for the flash player to load and run the flash program.
