Flex + Livecycle + states, without workspace

Question

Hi All,
I'm beginning with livecycle Workbench.
I need develope a process in Workbench, but the customer does not want to use the workspace.
There are 3 flex application that they will send data to process management. The Flex application, is outside workspace.
In the process I must have states that hope that the Flex application causes that they follow.
Please, How Can I do it?
How my Flex App talk with the process management (outside Workspace)?
How I would have design the tasks in the workbench?
(I'm beginning)
Thanks very much
María.

Maria,<br /><br />I would recommend taking a look at<br /><br />http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/programLC/programmer/help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/htm l/wwhelp.htm?&accessible=true<br /><br />Invoking LiveCycle ES Using APIs > Invoking LiveCycle ES Using LiveCycle Remoting<br /><br />There is nothing special about a Flex app calling LiveCycle. It goes something like this:<br /><br />1. You build a long-lived process in Workspace ES. Let's call the process 'FlexToWorkspace'. The process includes an input variable of type 'xml' (or whatever format you prefer) and name it 'vendorData', a SetValue operation to get the input xml, and an Assign Task operation. <br /><br />2. You build a Flex and define a remote object call to the process<br /><br /><mx:RemoteObject id="ro" destination="FlexToWorkspace" <br /> result="handleResult(event)" fault="handleFault(event)"/><br /><br />3. You define a function to bind the data from the Flex form to an string.<br /><br />private function buildXmlStr():String {<br />  var xmlStr:String = "<vendor>"<br />   + "<name>" + vendor.text + "</name>"<br />   + "<city>" + vendorCity.text + "</city>"<br />   ...    <br />   + "</vendor>";<br />  return (xmlStr);<br />}<br /><br />4. You define a function to call buildXmlStr() and invoke the remote object representing the LiveCycle process. Note that invoke binds the variable 'xmlData' to the input variable 'vendorData' defined in the LiveCycle process.<br /><br />private function callLiveCycle():void {<br />  var xmlData:XML = XML(buildXmlStr());<br />  ro.invoke_Async({vendorData:xmlData});<br />}<br /><br />5. You define handlers.<br /><br />private function handleResult(event:ResultEvent):void {<br />  // do something<br />}<br />private function handleFault(event:FaultEvent):void {<br />  var faultObj:Object = event.fault;<br />}<br /><br />Steve
