Bluetooth SPP from Adobe Actionscript (Flex Framework), how?

Question

I am successfully running Bluetooth-SPP applications relying on http://bluecove.org/ That is Java to Java. I do now want to establish Bluetooth-connectivity in an Adobe Flex-application. Anyone has experience, ideas? I appreciate your advise. Thank you Bart

Answer 1

I don't know how you would pull this off in Flex.

For an AIR app, you should have a look at Merapi which is a AIR to java bridge. I haven't yet used it personally though.

Answer 2

You will have to communicate via some sort of proxy. Create your proxy in java and make it listen on a port that flash/flex connects to -- you can use http requests, but it might be more fitting to use an xml socket.

Koen Weyn's suggestion of Merapi looks like a good one if you don't want to build it yourself (I've also never used it).
