You can create a dotnet control and include the shockwave player in it and run flex apps in it. We've played around with that a few times with some success.
And yes, you can use External Interface to communicate with the DotNet control. Gk.

I implemented the solution using javascript. it works fine for web application. but I need to build a desktop application too. and I don't want to use .net is there any other way ? can i include axShockwaveFlashObject in pure c/c++ and use ExternalInterface to communicate with the activex control ? Thanks in advance. Zuberul.
