Using an (IR) remote control to navigate an AIR application
Problem
I'd like to write an AIR application to manage my local media collection from a pc connected to my TV. I already have an IR remote control that operates other applications like GBPVR and Hulu desktop. How do I capture/access the IR signal from the remote control and use it to navigate my AIR/Flex application?
Solution
Create an external socket server.
Detailed explanation
I made an application that did this by creating a socket server in C# that communicated with the IR and then sent the information to the different flash apps using sockets.
