This may be a completely stupid question so bare with me...

I know some C# but I'm completely ignorant when it comes to ASP.NET. Can
someone tell me if it's possible to emulate the capabilities of Macromedia's
Flash MX using C# on an ASP.NET page?

My first guess is that it would at minimum require that the user download a
clientside plugin.

If emulation is possible without doing a hostile takeover of Macromedia,
would it involve creating a Flash clone or something simple like dragging
some components to a form designer and attaching event handlers to em?
 
Chuck,

This is easy to answer.

Flash is working on the clientside
C# is working on the serverside

I hope that this simple text clears it?

Flash runs client side and asp.net runs server side. MX has the ability to
interact from client side to server side asp.net - so it really depends on
what your trying to do. Asp.net as a server technology cannot create the
rich interfaces that you get from a tool such as flash, but it can provide
data for your client side presentation.
