On Adobe's Flash & Flex in ASP.NETin ASP.NET(C#) web application. While I am fairly well versed with ASP.NET C#, I absolutely have NO IDEA about how to say "Hello World" in a Flash enabled web page rendered via ASP.NET. Can any one let me get started? --- By the way, there is a NEWS today about Adobe Flex 2, which I can not comprehend. There are getting started articles for PHP developers on Adobe's website but nothing for ASP.NET developers. http://news.com.com/Adobe+to+open-source+Flash+tool+Flex/2100-7344_3-6179305.html It will be nice to hear something from experienced people. Microsoft folks too are urged to speak something. How Microsfott's Silverlight fits into all this? Can a person who rely solel on VWD/C# Express count on Silverline? Thanks in advance ! -- a VWD(C#) Express explorer You have to consider Flash an embedded control in the browser. It has a
completely separate programming model which is radically different from ASP.NET. ASP.NET ultimately is only going to send HTML to be rendered in the browser (it's going to be complex, but at its core, that's what it's doing). Flash, on the other hand, is going to actually execute within the browser, and you have have it interact with the page it is hosted in, as well as the server it came from (I'm not sure what the security restrictions on flash are, but this would be reasonable to assume, I could be wrong here). As for Flex, my understanding of it is that it is Adobe's response to WPF, meant more for desktop applications, while Silverlight is Microsoft's attempt to break into the Flash market. -- Show quote- Nicholas Paldino [.NET/C# MVP] - mvp@spam.guard.caspershouse.com "ASP.NET explorer" <explorer@aspdotnetJungle> wrote in message news:OXtOxlOiHHA.4228@TK2MSFTNGP03.phx.gbl... >I have been asked to create some simple animation using Adobe Flash player >in ASP.NET(C#) web application. > > While I am fairly well versed with ASP.NET C#, I absolutely have NO IDEA > about how to say "Hello World" in a Flash enabled web page rendered via > ASP.NET. > > Can any one let me get started? > > --- > By the way, there is a NEWS today about Adobe Flex 2, which I can not > comprehend.

It allows you to create Flash UIs using XML declarations. Facilitates remote calls for your Flash client, etc. More info here; http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/productinfo/overview/ OpenLazlo is an alternative to Flex: http://www.openlaszlo.org/ flash is browser plugin and plays a flash file stored on your website.
the flash is hosted just like an image. instead of an image tag, you use an <object> tag. its just html, so nothing special is required to host a flash file in asp.net. To build a flash file (swf), you currently need a tool kit from adobe. this tools kit will be available later this year as open source, but right now you need to buy one from adobe. flash file are a series of vector graphics, canvases, behaviors and a timeline that allows an animated graphic to be displayed. there are built in events and action such that click on an location can cause an action to happen. the flash file can also contain code (they have a version of javascript) that can also be triggered by events. if you write code, the code can make webservice (flash remote) calls. flash also supports sending events to the client. the flash has a server framework to receive and send events to the client. this is currently java based. flash also can call client javascript, or expose methods to client javascript. with asp.net you can host a flash file, use its client javascript support, and host webservices it calls. Silverline is microsofts response to flash. Silverline is a plugin just like flash. Silverline files are xaml (xml) based so they can be built without buying a tool. though making more than a trival hello world not sure how far you'd get. As the flashtool kit will be open source, MS will probably release an Express Silverline toolkit. Silverline uses client javascript for a progaming language. it also supports loadloading and hosting a .net component, but this requires both Silverline and .net be installed. also increases load time. -- bruce (sqlwork.com) ASP.NET explorer wrote: Show quote > I have been asked to create some simple animation using Adobe Flash player > in ASP.NET(C#) web application. > > While I am fairly well versed with ASP.NET C#, I absolutely have NO IDEA > about how to say "Hello World" in a Flash enabled web page rendered via > ASP.NET. > > Can any one let me get started? > > --- > By the way, there is a NEWS today about Adobe Flex 2, which I can not > comprehend.

1. Flash. The is the traditional way to develop Flash movies and apps. I wouldn't suggest it for applications unless you're doing something very visual or artsy--there are better options now. 2. Flex. This is the newer way to develop Flash applications. Based on XML and ActionScript 3 (ECMA4). It's two new languages but hopefully should be easy enough to learn. There is a free SDK (which is what the press release is referring to) so you can develop Flex apps using any IDE without paying any fees. However, FlexBuilder makes it a lot easier so I'd highly suggest using FlexBuilder. 30 day trial available. For communication it supports web services and others (see Fluorine). 3. NeoSwff. There's a separate IDE and compiler from a company called GlobFX which lets you create Flash applications using C# and WinForms framework. It compiles down to SWF and uses their implementation of the .NET framework. I haven't used it, but the lead developer is very smart and I've heard lots of very good things. Obviously this would be the easist for you to learn. 4. OpenLaszlo. Produces SWFs from XML and ActionScript. Uses older version of SWF and ActionScript so I personally would not recommend it. Silverlight is a nice option in the future but if you're building something for widespread use (outside a single company) then it'll be years before market penetration is high enough to be useful.
