Calling Flash functions from C# and vice versa

Question

What's the proper way to communicate with Flash from C# when it's hosted in the ActiveX control? I see a CallFunction method which look promising to communicate with Flash but I'm having a hard time finding documentation about what the parameter data should look like. Also, what would the reverse look like; i.e. how could the Flash content notify C# of some kind of event?

Answer 1

You'll want to use SetVariable and CallFunction to achieve this. Here is a good, short tutorial on Flash and C# interop.
