Question

making phone calls

Ok, I've searched the forum and no posts...so, I'm either trying to do something impossible that is well documented somewhere that I've missed or, no-one seems bothed about this functionality?!

What I want to do is simple: use AS3 within my app to enable the user to make calls on their iOS or Android device.

Is this possible? If so, how? Which libraries do I use.

Any help, comments or ideas very much welcome.

Thanks!

Genius solution Sigman...obvious really.

BUT...what I'd also love, which I neglected to post here - but did add to my 'idea' post - is that I'd love to be able to route audio through the call.

So, I could play any audio clip to the end listener - whether a system or person.

This solution will work but, it won't let me manipulate 'what' audio is sent through the telephony part of the mobile.

Thanks for the idea though

Yeah What is not supported is the second part of your idea... You cannot control the phone call... you can only call the phone app...

Did you check if it is possible to do it in a native mobile app? I think there are legal issue when you want to listen to the phone call audio and it might not be possible to do it at all on mobile devices... But I might be wrong...
