Connor,There's no reason you couldn't write a Windows app that hosted a flash plugin which in turn ran an OpenLaszlo app. You could even write the app so that the OpenLaszlo app could specify a custom window shape (I don't know about opacity). I know this because I wrote a prototype doing just that years ago under contract to Laszlo Systems. There are two basic ways to go: embed an html control, in which you host a flash object, or write a harness for directly hosting the flash activex control within your application.
Hope this helps, jim On Nov 30, 2005, at 10:20 AM, Connor Penhale wrote:
Hello Mailinglist!I'm a rabid MM product prostitute. When I saw OpenLaszlo, I nearly flipped: my one pet peeve with Macromedia (as a linux user) was that there was not nearly enough linux product development. This is why I am VERY excited to see the OpenLaszlo project. I was literally about a week away from purchasing flex (and installing a dual-boot windows on my Gentoo laptop for flex development), and now I have OpenLaszlo! :)I will be starting a project soon that I will need some help with: I want to create a dockapp/widget/toolbar that is x86/x86_64 compatable, and I want it to be really sharp looking, i.e. resizing, opacity effects, etc. My question is: has the OpenLaszlo team developed or know of a way to create a Laszlo app that will run as an userland application (i.e. a .jar)? I want to create a Java/SWF based application using a SOAP or JSP backbone (I already have coldfusion 7). I will be deploying the server in a Solaris environment on a Sun Fire x2100.SO! Can I repackage a Laszlo application as a jar for execution on a client machine for this swf dockapp? Or, if Laszlo is not the right product for this, any suggestions? Like a windowing toolkit as good as flash :DPS: I have been using MM Central, and it looks like quite a bogus product._______________________________________________ Laszlo-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-user
