How do I connect a Flex Application( Internet Site ) and C++ togehter ?
a minimalistic example from what i mean (User Story):
Frank goes to http://www.myflexsite.de there are 2 textboxes and 1 Button( Label = add two numbers) .
He inserts 2 in the first textbox and 5 in the ohter. Now he clicks on the add button.
The Backend : We have a add.cpp file where an add method is defined :
int add(int a, int b ) ...
After Frank clicked on the “add two numbers” Button the add-method in the C++ file is called and the result will be returned.An Alert Window with the result appears.
This is what i want to accomplish, but i don’t know how i build the bridge between these 2 Languages.
How can they communicate ?
The easiest would be to write a small console application in C++ and then invoke it via Apache or any other web server using CGI. There are performance problems with this but it’s a good start, and then you can move forward. From Flex just make HTTP requests and let your program parse them – for instance, you can send XML back and forth.
