dll usage

[bluejob]

how do i use a DLL which can access the parallel port?

the functions are Inp32() and Out32()

int Inp32(int port_address);

void Out32(int port_address, int data_sent);

i'd like to get the status of my parallel port and display them in a textfield in flash...

thanks man...that really helped...hmmm, i have another things...for example i have a dynamic textfield in my flash movie which has a variable name of "mytext", how will i get the state of my parallel port and send it to that variable?

[SWFKit]

var state = inp(0x378);
FlashPlayer.setVariable("mytext", state.toString());

if i'm gonna use what i got from the parallel port in an "if" condition, how will i do it? will i just use the variable i used in the ffishscript right away in actionscript? 'coz the motion of my object will depend on the data that flash will get from the parallel port...

You cannot access a FFish Script variable in Action Script.

In SWFKit

var state = inp(0x378);
FlashPlayer.setVariable("mytext", state.toString());
FlashPlayer.targetCallLabel("_root", "myframe");

In Action Script for frame "myframe"

var value = parseInt(mytext);
if (value == 0)
{
    ...
}
