How to Embed Java Into Flex

The Flex programming language is used to create applications that run on Web pages and interact with website visitors. If you have a Java script or program that you want to integrate into your website, you can do so by adding a callback to the Java script file in your Flex program. This callback causes the Java application to activate when the Flex program is run.

Instructions

1. Open your Flex project.

2. Go to the location in the Flex application where you want to embed your Java application.

3. Type "inc.ext["/path/to/java/file.jar"]->exc" (without the external quotes) into the Flex program. Replace the example path with the actual path of your Java file.

4. Save the Flex program, and ensure that the Java application is in the specified path on your server when you run the Flex file.
