Flex Email API or Flex using Java Mail API

[Ronald.Ruly]

Hi All

I am a newbie to Flex and Actionscript.

[goal] : build a Flex application that uses Java Mail API or Flex Email API to send and receive emails.

[problem] : I have imported the java mail API (.jar) to Flex Builder 2 and I can see that the java mail classes are inside the folder within the project. Subsequently, I wrote 'import javax.mail.*' in the main.mxml. When I compiled it, there is an error message "javax.mail is not found ...".

[question] :
1. How to 'link' the import statement to the imported java mail API classes?
2. Is there any other alternatives to send / receive email using Flex programmatically ?

Thanks for your attention
Best Regards
Ronald

You cannot import Java classes into Flex. Flex uses ActionScript 3.0 and runs on Flash Player, not the Java Virtual Machine.

Hi Josh.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I need to use the actionscript 3.0 socket programming to send and retrieve email.
