Hi all …

We are currently creating a scan in system, that uses an RFID - scanned in via a serial port device connected to a serial port - and the RFID gets sent to a Flash movie.

We will be using PC’s.

As far as I know, or as far as my reasearch will tell me, it’s not possible to send data directly from a serial port to a Flash movie.

Does any body know the best method for doing this?

Many thanks,

D
