Hi Glen,

So to get this straight:

How do you intend to store the file data... Shared objects, or as an actual file? Only if the connection is available, and only if the user would not rather keep their old version?
What type of PDA?
Will it actually be flash 7 or flashlight?
By shell do you mean a simple lightweight wrapper application? Are you comfortable developing in c++, and with whatever sdk you will need to use? Are you trying to compare hashes on the file, file size alone, timestamp, revision counter stored in the DB or on a file based check in check out system, or some other method?

Dependant on what you want it could be easy or provide you with a bit of a learning curve; unless you have the finances to farm out some of the work.

Always with the questions,
Anthony

Hi,

   Does anyone have any experience with creating shell loaders?

I would like to create a standalone application - for PDA Flash 7 - that will try to load a SWF from a remote location - in order to centralise the application updates.

Because of network connectivity issues, I would also like the option of allowing the user to choose to load a local file if this changes. Even better would be the ability to update the PDA software with a new version if the 2 don't match.

I have had a Google on this, but not having much luck. Any tips would be appreciated.

   Thanks

   Glen
