Hi Islam,
That is quite funny. I think there is pretty much no chance of doing this easily.

If you look under Video, you can find the supported video types for the i Phone. Then all someone has to do is convert the video to one of those formats…

Hi Vijay,
In order to use native functions, you need to wrap them in “foreign function interface”. Normally, in haxe, you would place these functions in a DLL. However, for the iPhone, you can just add the wrappers to you project. You will need to include hxCFFI.h in your code, and create a function that takes “value” as args, and returns a “value”. You then use the DEFINE_PRIM macro to export the function to haxe. Inside the function, you can use the methods defined in hxCFFIAPI.h to get at the haxe values. Inside haxe, you use cpp.Lib.load to get the function.
This is very similar to how neko does things.
This may sound a bit complex, bit that is essentially how NME does things.
A nice idea might be to gather some native iphone calls togther into a library for use by everyone.

Huge,

Thanks for your reply.

Can I use iPhone SDK API’s along with your code? What I need is to invoke my own application with URL within your code. How do I use the iPhone API [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:app_url]?

Vijay,
Sorry, I don’t know enough about the iphone/xcode setup at this stage. There is probably a setting in the xcode project somewhere. Or perhaps only things from the iphone store show up there? There is also the “Organiser” window that my help. Maybe iDevGames or an apple forum can help because I think this is more a iphone-dev issue.

Thanks for the great article. I have successfully tested the sample application which worked fine. Is there a way to invoke this sample application with in the my application? I do not want to have this sample application as a separate icon on the iPhone screen.
