RE: FLASH: Alternative Uses for Flash

[Rick Turoczy]

Bill,


I, too, have experimented with the Flash ActiveX control in VB and

PowerPoint.  It works great.  There is only one major drawback I've

found: If you port the application to someone who does not have the

ActiveX control, the Flash does not work.  You just get a big, fat red X

where your interface should be.


If you're using it in a controlled atmosphere where every user

definitely has the Flash3 ActiveX component, you're in great shape, but

widespread distribution is "iffy" at best. (Unless, of course, you're

licensing the Active X component for distribution.)


Not to be pessimistic . . . I think it still has some great

implications.  I'd be interested in hearing how others are implementing

this technology in ways other than "web."


Take care,

Rick
