Flash Component for .NET

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 01:01:03 GMT

Sometime ago I had a task: to create a flash projector (something like Zinc or mProjector) with C#. This program should convert input SWF files and other resources into single EXE file that should work in semitransparent or window mode. Optionally, flash.ocx / flash9.ocx can be included into final exe file. After surfing over Internet, I've found this interesting product. I hope we will create a good flash projector with it :)

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 07:01:06 GMT

One of the greatest ideals of high level programming is the idea of code reuse. In the old days, this was only ever done using functions or subroutines, depending on the language.
