How parentSandboxBridge and childSandboxBridge works?

Question

Hello,
I am new to as3 and air development. I have created one app in adobe air for Android (using Flash CS 5.5). I am loading externally stored pages (swf) into my app. The last page which is assessment needs to send the score to the main app when user click "Submit Score" button from the page. It also needs to access the main app function which will restart the app from the beginning. I have not used the class based approach, simple time line coding. I have placed one blank movie clip on stage and then loading external swfs with the help of loader. I have read that we can do the communication using parentSandboxBridge and childSandboxBridge. But, I have not found the suitable example for the same. Can anybody explain me how to do it? Or give me some sample code.

1. Generally, OPM is for business users not developers. (i.e. Policy or Business Analysts who communicate with and understand business terminology and express business policies using that terminology). Developers play a role in integrating the policy model to another systems data model - but that should primarily be a data mapping exercise and design and implementation of integration when necessary.
2. There is a good bit of information on architecture, components, etc. covered in both the developer documentation on OTN ( http://docs.oracle.com/html/E38272_01/toc.htm ) and high level overviews on the OPA YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/OraclePAVideos
3. You only need both is you plan on using both (i.e. Oracle Web Determinations is for running interviews to collect data to be used in making a determination, Oracle Determinations Server is for SOA - i.e. SOAP endpoint which publishes WSDLs that define the request/response formats for integration via web services with other apps.
4. Portal apps / infrastructure is only required if you are deploying the OPM project within a portal (i.e. as an interview running within a portal app).
(3 and 4 above are related, you didn't ask but a fourth option for deployment integration is via an API so basically an OPM project can be deployed as one or more of the following: an interview app (Web Determinations), an interview within a portal, a web services endpoint (Determinations Server) or integrated via an API. The YouTube content on architecture overview and integration will explain in a bit more detail and the OTN content will go into much more detail on each of the options.
