Question

1. After login with my SkypID, i can make a voice call from browser using Flash? How, can i get started on this, can someone show me a way please.

Thank you

Answer 1

Is this a COM Object?

If so, you can't access it from Flex directly and won't be able to access it in a browser based app at all. Your best bet is going to be to take a look at AIR 2 and the NativeProcess . I believe you'll still need to write some form of bridge in either Java or .NEt to act as a proxy between the Skype library and Flex.

Answer 2

www.flextras.com is correct. You will need to use a bridge like Merapi w/ Air. Here is a link that might point you in the right direction.
