Re: [flexcoders] Flash Player - Desktop integration... SDK?

[JesterXL]

Not sure of VB's depencys, but VB can do sooo many things, whereas Flash projectors... not so much.  Most Flash projectors we're created to do things Flash couldn't; like read text files, integrate with the desktop better via positioning and sizing.  VB, at least 6, was awesome; it could do a lot of things C could do, only it was easier to write.  Now, however, Microsoft is pushing .NET I think, so VB's old.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Manuel Saint-Victor To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 8:38 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Flash Player - Desktop integration...

Now, however, ExternalInterface makes this a lot easier to get syncronous communication with real data objects.  Check it out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aldo Bucchi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, November 07, 2005 5:40 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Flash Player - Desktop integration... SDK? Hi all, Sorry for the strange question.. I couldn't find any info on this anywhere else. When I look at the Design view in Flex Builder... is it being rendered by some variation of the flash player? if so, how does it integrate with Java? I guess it is internal stuff. But, is there any java/c++/py etc SDK planned for the future? The new player + framework are starting to become an attractive UI alternative for some desktop applications... Does central appear somewhere on this road in the future?
