Communicating with Serial Port using Adobe Flash

Question

Just wondering if there is any way to access the serial port directly in adobe flash ?

Answer 1

Yes -- using Zinc. http://www.multidmedia.com/ The process is a little bit longer though and you need extra software - Basically, you import Zinc's classes and call them via as3 to access the serial port. You publish flash, and then you publish the swf you just made through Zinc into a exe/app/linux binary
