Flash SWF in Windows Forms

[agileconsultancy]

Hi,

I have a Flash Swf file which is continuously updated in terms of data,
from the DB using Actiona Script and aspx calls.

Well, the question can surely consider only a simple SWF file moslty.
I developed it for Web Applications(asp .net 2.0) and it's working fine
there.

I want to use it in Window Forms .NET 2.0...So, what are the
possibilities of using it ?

1. I am trying to use through ocx but some error getting generated. Can
you guide me proper way or possibilities of errors. My team had that
err...and while writing this, I am unable to provide the same,
unfortunately.

2. I added a web browser control on windows form and loaded that swf
inside it....but i don't want to do it....because this calls
aspx...that calls Class library...that calls DB.
If it's in Windows Form directly, I can bypass ASPX layer. I need
speed...because it's continuously updated.

3. Anyway, I can use some third party Grid which can give me good looks
for the grid and interactivity in terms of lots of controls possible
inside the grid ?? This is least preferable to other 2 options,
through!!

Thank you,
CDP

CDP,
You should not be having any issues using the Flash OCX, I recently did this
in a WinForms app to create an "easter egg" where if you right click only in
the extreme lower corner of the form, one of those "insane bubblwrap"
thingies would appear.

(Actually now that I think of it, that was probably the high point of the
whole app...)

I think the problem might be if you are using ActionScript that's
interacting with a web page, you are going to run into issues, because now
you're in a form and there is no web.
