What platform to use?

5 New Member
Hi there

Cool forum! I'm just looking for some advice. I'm designing an interface for a public display as well as an admin interface that will control the output for the display. The display will feature text, images and video - both normal video files and live streamed video. The admin interface basically lets the administrater choose which text, images, video etc appear on the display. It's not online - just a local app, run from a PC and the video and images etc will be stored in folders on the hard drive - not on a database.

What would be the best way of designing this? I'm considering either Flash (because of the front end aspects of it) or something like C++ or Delphi. Any thoughts on this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Heya lollerskates (love the name!). Welcome to TSDN!

Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to copy this thread to the C++ and the Flash forum, and we'll get experts from each platform to respond with their advice and opinions.

Good luck with your project!
