How to send sms within an iphone and android app using as3. I found this code while googling:

var callURL:String="sms:0-123-456-7890";
var targetURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(callURL);
navigateToURL(targetURL);

Its working, but it is navigating the app to sms window controller. Can it be done without opening the sms controller window. Is there anything that opens a window within the app itself. Is there any air native extenson which perform this for android and iphone?

    Yeah, using navigateToURL is going to pop you over to the phones default SMS app. To get around this you’re going to need to use a native extension.

    I know of one for Android:

    If you have an Android phone you can check out a demo of this ANE inside of the AIRexplorer app. Select the SMS ANE version from the list (the app includes an extension as well as navigateToURL)

    I don’t know of one for iOS right now so you may have to do a little bit of digging

    Oh Also, wanted to add a comment because I’m not really sure of your intent here.

    If your goal is to send a sms without any user interaction that is not going to be possible. ANE or not
