Smart device, .NET and... Flash

[Carlos Sosa Albert]

Hi guys,

I have a Flash (SWF) application that is intended to work in Smart devices.

Is there a way to embed/include/call this .SWF from within .NET, so I can
run it as a full screen application? (.NET wold be working only as a kind of
"wraper").

We used to work with MDM Zinc (http://www.multidmedia.com/), but this guys
aren't updating the software anymore. ~
So I'm looking for a solution that can be maintained and updated by
ourselves...

Any help or ideas will gonna be very welcome!

We have been using .SWF's in our .NET application by using the OpenNETCF
WebBrowser control to host them. We are using .NET 1.0 on Pocket PC 2003
units. The only issue we had was the Warning that IE pops up when the SWF
is loaded. We got around it by starting a new thread before we load the SWF
into IE that looks for the Dialog and dismisses it when it happens. Granted
it's an ugly hack that makes the screen flash a little, but to date no one
has complained. It also had the advantage of being a ZERO cost method.

I'd be interested if there was low cost alternative to this.

Thanks Ron,

I will take a look at this method, and keep your address to let you know of
any result I get.
Regarding the costs, it would be not be and issue if these guys would just
keep the product updated... =(

Regards.
