Re: [flexcoders] OpenGL vs DirectX / Vista vs. Flash Player 9 MS comments about Flash re Vista

That's the whole point -- I know you guys can do it...as the headlines say Adobe and Mickeysoft are on a head-on collision and I hope MS gets their butt kicked (I have my reasons).JesterXL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:         Director's engine supports embedding ActiveX  controls whereas Flash does not.  Director is a more heavyweight plugin as  consequence whereas Flash Player is significantly lighter and more ubiquitious  as a result.  There is a tradeoff to filesize, and embedding is not  necessarely mutually exclusive.   ----- Original Message -----  From: Dominick  Accattato  To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com  Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 10:00 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] OpenGL vs DirectX / Vista vs. Flash Player  9 MS comments about Flash re Vista yes, but if you can run flash in director, you should be able to  run director in flash.  Of course, the developer could just use the iframe 
 trick.

 want to download the OpenGL Flash Player support extension?"    I just saw a Video this morning after reading Dvorak's article    that IE is now an albatross due to their loss to Eolas in December and the    11th of this month requiring a huge change to ActiveX control interaction.    The video was a cross link and discussed the lack of real 3D with    texturing etc. (DirectX) in Flash and a hint that "our technology you can't do    on a browser".Well, you can in an ActiveX control but now that's    Screwed :-) So Vista WinFX and the Macintosh "Viewer" (i.e. not    designer app) will be this coming "Headon Collision between Adobe and    Microsoft".I just want to encourage the FLEX and Flash 9 developers to    try and bust Mickeysoft's bubble when it comes to the fact that they are an    old man who is slowly dying -- they will be kept alive for a long time by    their Cash Reserve which, some say has a lot of money in it
 through dirty    tricks -- but in the end, I believe Adobe will come out ahead. Again,    the FLEX group and FLASH group are full of very smart guys enough so to put in    a DirectX like API that is perhaps a triggered add-on to the normal Flash    Player, something that says "This site includes high-end real time graphics;    do you want to download the OpenGL Flash Player support extension?"    -r-r         Yahoo!
