How the API of an application can access to data of the current application

[Gaga]

Hi all !!!

So I m completely a beginner on the API notion ! But here is my problem :

I have a big flex project (called CS) and I have to create an API so that an external application could access to the data (server url, username, etc) of a current CS application running.

So if I understood correctly (the API notion), I ll create a project appart, my API that will access to CS Code. And the compilation of this project (API) will give a library which will be acceded by the external app.

BUT ! I see that API will be able to use fonctions, and then external applications will be able to use API functions, but what I don't get is how we'll be able to retrieve the datas of the current CS running. How the current CS will be linked to the API !? 

Don't understand anything :p Help please !!!

(Could it have something to deal with sandbox bridge ?)

THANKS !!!

Are you trying to create a system where two different applications on the same machine communicate with each other using a ColdFusion server? Or, are you trying to get two individual AIR applications to communicate with each other directly? It's not entirely clear from your post.

Sorry for not having been very clear it was a little bit blurry for myself :p

So in fact I ve solved my "problem" by creating another project "MyAppliAPI" where I set the EventDispatcher to communicate with the MyAppli.
And on the subbaplication and module side :

Code:

this.myAppliApi = new MyAppliAPI(this.systemManager.loaderInfo.sharedEvents)

On the "MyAppli" side (where I load the subapplication) I created a new Class "MyAppliAPIBridge" where I set the EventDispatcher to communicate with the subapplications. This has to be the same as the one set in "MyAPI".
For subapplications (Application) it is :

Code:

this.myAppliAPIBridge = new MyAppliAPIBridge( swfLoader.content.loaderInfo.sharedEvents);

After that the subapp had been loaded. (code in the MyAppli)
For Modules :

Code:

this.myAppliAPIBridge = new MyAppliAPIBridge( this.systemManager.loaderInfo.sharedEvents)
