Question

We have asp.net authentication web pages with backend MySQL. It has social log-in and api used to bring demographics of user when registering. It uses MySQL as backend, Visual Studio 2010, C# code behind, .net framework 4.0 We have another application that’s being developed in Flex 4.0 with WebORB I wanted to use authentication and registration of ASP.net web pages and allow user to view web application developed in Flex with .net.

1. We have used HTTPService and RemoteObject to bring the data from .net application and this data is displaying on our flex application successfully.

2. But now we want to integrate our ASP.Net pages(registration and login page) into our flex application and these pages should be called from flex application only.

3. I have tried to call .aspx page from flex application using URLLoader class, I have added the below code in the click event of the button control as below:

var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
var PATH:String = "http://localhost:49531/WebSite1/Home.aspx";
var textRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(PATH);
loader.load(textRequest);

but the page did not get opened.

4. Please let me know how to call .aspx pages from flex application.

Answer 1

You need to use navigateToUrl(). As shown in the Flex Examples blog, you can simply do:

var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
navigateToURL(urlRequest, String(comboBox.selectedItem));
