integrating macromedia flash with .net compact framework 1.0

[hemamsc]

Hi all,
I need some suggestions regarding my .net compact framework
application.


Here is the brief overview of my application.
This mobile application provides the PDA users driving directions,
maps, navigation assistance(take left/right etc at way points)
,display
warnings when traveled away from their destination location etc. when
entered
their destination information.

Current location is tracked by the PDA attached GPS receiver.


I am planning to develop this application using the following
application architecture
1) .net compact framework 1.0 pocket pc 2002
2) mappoint webservice for providing maps ,driving directions.etc..
3) GPs.net for traking curent location information
4) Flash for the rich user interface.


And here are my questions/concerns

1) How to integrate the .net compact framework 1.0 with Macromedia
flash?..I heard about odyssey software..for activex components..Can I
use this one..? But odyssey s/w is a commercial one (free trial fro 14
days .. Is there any other way to integrate them?

2) My major concern is how to combine/send map point webservice
results to a flash object.?
,Basically I am pretty new to Flash but planning to use it for a nice
user interface..of this application.

Thanks in advance

1) How to integrate the .net compact framework 1.0 with Macromedia
flash?

From what I recall there are two basic approaches:

1) Find the article about hosting a native CE control in dotnet and write a
custom class to host the flash dll.

2) Use the OpenNetCF HTML control (which is one of the above) to display the
flash swf in an html page.

Good Luck.
