I have created an Adobe Air application that utilizes information received from a browser invocation using the BrowserInvokeEvent.BROWSER_INVOKE event. Without this information, the application can't run.
Unlike flashvars, because BrowserInvokeEvent.BROWSER_INVOKE is an event, the app must be given an addEventListener call.
Is it possible to also detect if the app was not invoked by the browser?
Thanks.
According to the docs, if you add event listener to WindowedApplication invoke event, you get all missed BrowserInvokeEvents. If you get none BrowserInvokeEvents and only InvokeEvent, this must be non-browser run.

I'm placing a call from my React Native application using Twilio and the outbound call works fine. Now I want to create something that will detect when I am put on hold by the receiver. The idea here is to make my app hold for me and get back to the caller once the hold has ended.
I searched the twilio docs and services but could not find any thing regarding this use case. How would I go about doing this?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Unfortunately, there is no mechanism to make this happen, even if there were something in the SIP signaling from the carrier, such as a re-INVITE.
In the world of SIP, putting a call on hold often involves sending a re-INVITE with different media parameters, such as saying a=sendonly in the session description. Even if this were passed end-to-end through the PSTN to Twilio, we do not generate webhooks to inform the customer’s app of this fact.
There are some good SO questions about placing a Twilio call on hold and retrieving it later--the Enqueue verb might be helpful.
I am not sure if what I am trying to do is even possible. I have a Slack App and via that SlackApp I want to control another Slack App which is not mine.
That's probably too abstract, so let's get into detail:
There is the SlackApp Foodtrain. If you are a user you just type "/lunchtrain Location Time" and it does it's job. I want my App to activate a Lunchtrain but if I just send a Message via Webhook thats '/lunchtrain Location Time' it doesn't activate the command. You can see it in plaintext. Is there any way to do this properly?
Thanks everybody for the help!
The official Slack API does not allow you to issue slash commands, but there is an undocumented API method called chat.command that has this functionality.
Usage example:
https://slack.com/api/chat.command?token=TOKEN&channel=C123456789&command=/who
Check out the documentation for the method on this github for details.
Using the browser client, how can I set the sounds.disconnect() on every call? Is there a way to access the device singleton to modify that setting? I know I can access when I get the device.ready callback, but I want to modify the setting on every call.
I received a helpful reply back from Twilio support:
--
That parameter will be instantiated in Twilio.Device either True or False once the web page loads, so to change it, I believe you would necessarily need to also reload the page.
This would create another control layer in effect, that isn't provided out of the box by Twilio: you'd need to build a web page to change the variable that determines sounds.outgoing(), and then trigger the page to reload.
Another option would be simply create a second Client instance running on a separate tab, and have both instances use the same outbound caller ID. That might be easier.
--
In my scenario I'll need to find a different approach, and will look in to disabling the Twilio sounds and using my own.
I would like to enable user to see their self-view right after they log on, which will also require them to click the allow button on the browser for getUserMedia. This way they will be ready to receive a call without having to click the allow camera button each time they receive a call.
Does vline support this?
Thanks
Yes, you can call the vline.Client.getLocalStream method to get the local video stream before making a call.
An example where this is actually used can be found in the vline-room-example.
I couldn't make a request to a remote server using JavaScript in the onload function due to access is denied insanity. So, just to make CRM obey, I set up an IFRAME and connect that to a HTML page running my JavaScript. Now, provided that I get some values inside the script (run in an IFRAME) how can I communicate them to a method in the holding parent?
Not quite sure how to explain it more detailed so please feel free to ask.
The access is denied is the Same Origin Policy. You're going to run into the same problem from the IFRAME unless you're serving the page or just the script src from the same server you're subsequently trying to make the AJAX request to.
Assuming you are doing the latter then you just need to make sure you have unchecked the "Restrict cross-frame scripting" option on the IFRAME you added to the CRM form. From the IFRAME you will now have access to your function that you've defined at global scope on the parent CRM form via window.parent.yourfunctionNameHere(xyz).
postMessage sounds like it might fit.
window.postMessage, when called, causes a MessageEvent to be dispatched at the target window when any pending script that must be executed completes (e.g. remaining event handlers if window.postMessage is called from an event handler, previously-set pending timeouts, etc.). The MessageEvent has the type message, a data property which is set to the string value of the first argument provided to window.postMessage, an origin property corresponding to the origin of the main document in the window calling window.postMessage at the time window.postMessage was called, and a source property which is the window from which window.postMessage is called.
To use window.postMessage, an event listener must be attached:
// Internet Explorer
window.attachEvent('onmessage',receiveMessage);
// Opera/Mozilla/Webkit
window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);
And a receiveMessage function must be declared:
function receiveMessage(event) {
// do something with event.data;
}
The off-site iframe must also send events properly via postMessage:
<script>window.parent.postMessage('foo','*')</script>
Any window may access this method on any other window, at any time, regardless of the location of the document in the window, to send it a message. Consequently, any event listener used to receive messages must first check the identity of the sender of the message, using the origin and possibly source properties. This cannot be understated: Failure to check the origin and possibly source properties enables cross-site scripting attacks.

Recently I had the joy of connecting to a web service and retrieve some data. When that’s been achieved, I found myself sitting on the said data not exactly knowing where to put it.
To make the long story short, I used the following source code.
parent.window.Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes
.get("new_Konrad").setValue("Viltersten");
Notable is the fact that in order to communicate with the parent form, the HTML file (where my JavaScript resided), needed to be placed as a web resource within the CRM structure. By other words, just by pointing to an external “http://some.where/some.thing” we can consume a service but won’t be able to convey the obtained information up the CRM server, at least not when developing a solution for the on-line version.
