???

Hello,

As I am building a application for tracking/tracing data thru a industrial proces I encoutered the following problem.

I use apache 1.3 as the webserver and PHP for data exchange (for security reasons).
but the data that I want to exchange will be given in by operators with the help of a
onscreen keyboard because on the site we can not use a normal keyboard.

I am having trouble with my touchscreens because everytime I want to enter data
the focus changes from the flash player to the onscreen keyboard and no data will be passed thru. I am using the fullscreen screen property to display the movie. this will
make all other windows disappear. As I am using a virtual keyboard there is no possibility to change to another application window (ALT-TAB or other). therefore if I accidently close my virtual keyboard I am trapped in the application window ****.swf and have no possibility to change my application window. My thoughts went out to the possibility to start an external program from within the movie thru fscommand() but I understand this is only possible with a stand-alone projector ( movie*.exe).

Has anyone an idea how to start another application (keyboard.exe) in the (movie.swf)
maybe with javascript, PHP or thrd party.

For the moment I am lost in my quest for a solution

Thanks in advange

do some reseach on FS commands. I'd tell you more, but I haven't done it, but I think i remember seeing that before.

HOpe that helped

That would be a terrifying idea. If someone could write a swf-movie and execute some command on my machine?!!

If you wanted to run a program on the server, you can do that by executing external programm through PHP.

I, and I think all other serois programmers in the internet, hope, that this is not possible.

If it is, please notify, because I will then stop all aktions on developing flash on my homepage.

Ron
