Thiru, I remember seeing the TemplateDoesNotExist exception on GAE. It was, if I remember correctly, an issue with GAE itself (not my code) and was temporary. Would love to hear if you make and progress. G’luck.

Fantastic idea but with SWF 2.0 it needs something instead of addVar:

var flashvars = {url: “{{url}}”};
swfobject.embedSWF( ‘/static/DjangoSWF.swf’,
‘djangoswf’,
‘500′, ‘500′,
‘9.0.45′,
‘expressinstall.swf’,
flashvars,
{ bgcolor: ‘#FFFFFF’, menu: ‘false’, allowfullscreen: ‘false’ },
{id: ‘djangoswf’});

Flex code remains the same :D

Don’t work for me. My Browser show me a single message “Django SWF example “This requires Flash Player.”. In urls.py I need to teel django the true path to static folder.

As long as you’re playing with Flex/Django you might want to take a look at pyamf (basically amfphp for python); they already have an example Django gateway:
