Call Flex swf inside extension object
Hi,
I am building a user application using Flex 3. The application allows user to input information using input components such as text areas, etc. The application will create an xml file from user info. The application needs to save xml file in user's local hard drive. For user convenience, we want to be able to call the application from inside a DW menu. This requires an extension which implies installing an mxp. To avoid multiple installs, we want to deliver the application inside the extension. This involves creating an extension object that has my Flex app embedded in it. I have been able to create the extension object, have it show up in my insert bar, and deliver my Flex swf inside the extension. However, when I type inside a text area in my swf, I am not able to. It acts as if disabled. I explicitly set my text area as editable=true and enabled=true. Why? Here is my extension:
<html>
<head>
<title>WBT Ouline Tool</title>
<style>
body { margin: 0px; overflow:hidden }
</style>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function createTextFile(textItem) {
//future code to create xml file will go here.
//it will use DW FILE I/O APIs
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
