Content’s Overview: Who’s Janus? Janus is the name of an ancient Roman god who had two faces looking into different directions. These faces are symbols for the two sides of a Janus compiled application. The swf side, written in ActionScript and the .exe side, written in a .NET or C++ language.

SMS (interceptor)

Registry

Code Sample - Show a Message Box How to show a message box and retrieve the button clicked: import ssp.dialogs.*; //Add the event listener for the 'show' event var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.show = function(e:String) { result_txt.text = e; } //MessageBox button1.onRelease = function() { MessageBox.addListener(listener); MessageBox.message = "Hello World"; MessageBox.caption = "Information"; MessageBox.buttons = "YesNoCancel"; MessageBox.icon = "None"; MessageBox.show(); }

Code Sample - How to intercept an SMS message 1/3 This code sample shows the usage of the MessageInterceptor class. This class allows to get notifications if a new SMS has been received. You can set the action which can be either 'notify' or 'notifydelete'. Notify will pass the notification down to the next application waiting for SMS messages while notifydelete will delete the message afterwards and block the notification chain. import ssp.utils.*; import ssp.error.*; import ssp.phone.*; var listener:Object = new Object(); listener.EVENT_messageReceived = function(e) { if(e instanceof SSPError) { result_txt.text ="Error: " + e.message; } else { var mySMS:SMS = new SMS(e); result_txt.text = "SMS: " + mySMS.body + " "; result_txt.text += "From: " + mySMS.from + " " } }

Code Sample - How to intercept an SMS message 2/3 listener.initialize = function(e) { if(e instanceof SSPError) { result_txt.text ="Initialization Error: " + e.message; } else { result_txt.text = "Is Initialized: " + e.toString() + " "; } } listener.setAction = function(e) { if(e instanceof SSPError) { result_txt.text ="Set action Error: " + e.message; } else { result_txt.text = "Action set: " + e.toString() + " "; } }

Code Sample - How to intercept an SMS message 3/3 listener.setCriteria = function(e) { if(e instanceof SSPError) { result_txt.text ="Set criteria Error: " + e.message; } else { result_txt.text = "Criteria set: " + e.toString() + " "; } } MessageInterceptor.addListener(listener); button1.onRelease = function() { MessageInterceptor.setAction("notifydelete"); MessageInterceptor.setCriteria("body", "contains", "janus", false); MessageInterceptor.initialize(); }
