I found this article:

http://blogs.adobe.com/cssdk/2010/05/leveraging_cc_libraries_in_the_cs _sdk_using_alchemy.html

Specifically, it mentions the following:

//==================================================================== =========================================

In most Alchemy use cases, all we have to do is initialize the C library and then call into the interfaces we defined:

var loader:CLibInit = new CLibInit();
var lib:Object = loader.init();
lib.setup();

However, it’s slightly more complex in our case. Alchemy requires that you pass any files needed by the C code as a byte array to the loader before calling your interfaces. Because the C code requires access to the file system (to read the dictionary, grammar rules, etc.), we’re going to need a function something like this:

private function supplyFile( loader:CLibInit, file:File, fileName:String):void {

var bytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file, FileMode.READ);
stream.readBytes(bytes, 0, stream.bytesAvailable);
stream.close();
loader.supplyFile(fileName, bytes);

}

And that’s all there is to it. To compile the CS Extension, generate the swc and copy it into the libs/ folder. At runtime, make sure you have the contents of Link Grammar’s data/ folder (which includes 4.0.dict, words/, etc.) copied onto the desktop.

Can anyone comment on or add to this?

Just an update for people who want to know an easier way of doing this, heres some code for passing bytearray to C++ and passing back a pointer to the modified data in C++ to flash, then saving that modified data from alchemy memory to the file system. It's very fast and other tutorials I've seen say it's the fastest method:

package {

import flash.display.MovieClip;

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.filesystem.File;

import flash.filesystem.FileMode;

import flash.filesystem.FileStream;

import flash.utils.ByteArray;

import cmodule.MyAlchemyLib.CLibInit;

import cmodule.MyAlchemyLib.gstate;

public class MyAlchemyLibMain extends MovieClip

{

private var lib:Object;

private var loader:CLibInit;

private var file:File;

private var dataLength:int;

private var sysMem:ByteArray;

public function ScramblrAlchemyMain()

{

loader = new CLibInit;

file = File.desktopDirectory;

file.addEventListener(Event.SELECT, getFile);

file.browseForOpen("Find file to load.");

}

private function getFile(e:Event):void

{

file = e.target as File;

lib = loader.init();

file.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileLoadedLocally);

file.load();

}

private function fileLoadedLocally(e:Event):void

{

trace("Data length: " + file.data.length);

dataLength = file.data.length;

var fileData:ByteArray = file.data;

sysMem = gstate.ds;

lib.processBytes(fileData, dataLength, "My string data", -1, alchemyCallback, this);

}

public function alchemyCallback(pointerRef:int):void

{

trace("Alchemy called me back baby!")

trace("Bytes are at: " + pointerRef);

var alchemyBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();

aalchemyBytes.writeBytes(sysMem, pointerRef, dataLength);

trace(alchemyBytes.length);

var sf:File = File.desktopDirectory;

sf = sf.resolvePath(file.parent.nativePath);

sf = sf.resolvePath("Modded File.f");

trace(sf.nativePath);

var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();

fs.open(sf, FileMode.WRITE);

fs.writeBytes(alchemyBytes, 0, alchemyBytes.length);

fs.close();

fs = null;

}

}

}
