Flerry 1.1.0 released with a two-way Flex-Java communication
I would like to proudly announce that Flerry 1.1.0 was released! For those of you that don’t know what is Flerry, it’s a Flex-Java bridge for Adobe AIR 2.0. This new release brings possibility to call/initiate communication from Java to Flex/AS3 code. This functionality was solely developed by Jhonny Everson, big kudos to Jhonny!!! I love when open source really works and community contributes their work, with that said I encourage any of you that use Flerry to commit to the project 
You can grab latest FB4 project with Flerry and demo app from here.
Usage is really simple:
First create instance of NativeObject either in MXML or AS3 (binPath is path to jar file with compiled Java source classes):
<flerry:NativeObject id="nativeObject" singleton="true" binPath="./jars/flerry-demo.jar" source="net.riaspace.flerrydemo.MyJavaObject" />
Next subscribe to messages sent from Java side, “sendMsg” parameter defines message identifier:
// Subscribe to receive remote messages. nativeObject.subscribe("sendMsg", messageHandler);
On the Java side you have static method sendMessage on NativeObject class with message parameter and again message identifier:
NativeObject.sendMessage(map, "sendMsg");

This is great, thanks!
Just one question. Why Java api is different than AS3 api? In AS3 you have nativeObject.JavaMethod(args) but in Java you must work with message subscribing. Wouldn’t it be much more easier if Java side has the same api as AS3, something like nativeObject.As3Method(args)?

Hello o/
nice work \o/
actually i´m studying this lib to use in one project then i reviewing the code and found 1 problem in this function on NativeObject.as where when i execute the demo application the Thread start the second return value from java cause the follow Erro 2006 [ The supplied index is out of bounds. ] so…
i solve the problem hehe with this change on NativeObject.as, on the function [ onOutputData ]
messageBytes.clear();
nativeProcess.standardOutput.readBytes(…
and after first if
//create object from the collected bytes
var message:AcknowledgeMessage;
if(messageBytes.bytesAvailable > 0)
{ messageBytes.position = 0;
message = messageBytes.readObject() as AcknowledgeMessage;
}
now working fine \o/

I have a Question about flerry:
When setting singleton to “false”,
how can I instantiate and differentiate between different istances of the java Object?

I’ve used Flerry sucessly in a desktop enviroment. WinXP / Win 7 with JRE 6, with only little adjustements to source code.
But, i saw that Flerry needs the Java executable to send information between the process.
Is there an adaptation or alternative to use Flerry in Android?
