Making API calls from within - Flash object & Collaboration SDK
Would like to know the following..
1) - Is it possible to query which meeting the current user is in?
2) - Furthermore, is it possible to make web services API calls from within the Connect Pro application, from a shareable content object (Flash for example)? The collaboration tool SDK provides limited access to Connect Pro environment (user id/name..that's it)
Purpose - to pass session/group/meeting information to a 3rd-party application.
THanks.

You may be able to handle your purpose-statement above by using the XML Web Services instead. Meeting information, who's in the meeting, transcripts, etc... are all accessible via the web services.

Re: Making API calls from within - Flash object & Collaboration SDK
The original question..
Part#1 - can one make those XML Web Services API calls from within Connect Pro? (particularly from a shareable object, like a Flash SCO launched in a shareable POD)
Part#2 - I've test the web services API and made queries with it. What I can't seem to ask is : "What is the sco-id of the Meeting that is assciated with the current session?" - Meeting can persist across multiple sessions, if I'm not mistaken; so is it possible, using the current user's principal-id to determine the current sco-id ?
Thank you.

Narrowed down the question..
Flash Player security policy requires a cross-domain security policy file for data access (content other than an SWF - like using the XML object).
Question - does Connect Pro provide such a cross-domain policy file to allow SWF launched in a pod to access the web services API ?
Any info on this would be extremely helpful.
THanks.

Cross-domain policy udpate not needed.
For the url to the api call, make sure to use the domain as shown in the <host> URL path (see api call 'common-info') , and not the url to the meeting (ie: mycompany.acrobat.com).
Access the api from a shared Flash object is not an issue. The call will return an xml string. You can use both the XML object or XMLConnector component.

Re: Making API calls from within - Flash object & Collaboration SDK
Re: part #2 of the questions - I was able to get the sco-id of the Flash object by looking at the URL from Flash. (Movieclips have a '_url' property). Having the sco-id of the Flash object allows you to query via connect pro api the sco-id of the associated meeting. (see : action=sco-info&sco-id=<sco-id here..>)
