<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppc2k3/html/cfcom.asp' target='_blank'>http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../html/cfcom.asp</a><br /><br /></div>In my latest Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) article I show how to add Macromedia Flash content into .NET Compact Framework applications. The article is called <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppc2k3/html/cfcom.asp">"Add COM and ActiveX Support in .NET Compact Framework Using Odyssey Software CFCOM"</a> and contains source code to build an application called "Flash Anyplace". Flash Anyplace can play back content and provide the user with some control of how the content is played back. Hope you'll like it!<br /><br />"Macromedia has made available a free Pocket PC player for Macromedia Flash content. Flash is a popular platform for delivering high profile content, movies and even mobile applications. The Flash development community is active and growing. Developers using Flash in mobile application development based on Visual Studio .NET and the Compact Framework can easily bring out fantastic content and applications. ... The Macromedia Flash content shown in this sample is designed by the Flash developer Phillip Torrone from flashenabled.com (<a href="http://www.flashenabled.com/">http://www.flashenabled.com/</a>). More samples like this and more Pocket PC and Macromedia Flash related information can be found on the site Pocket PC Flash (<a href="http://www.pocketpcflash.net/home.htm">http://www.pocketpcflash.net/home.htm</a>)."

Pocket PC Flash fixed there site up. Last time I was there it was black and took forever to load. I am glad that they redesigned it.

BTW Bush or Chimp is fun.

very nice. I had to do alot of client side programming strictly on flash but the server i communicated to was a webservice in c# and php running nusoap. The objects were brought into flash rather nicely.

This would have helped greatly in my project almost a year ago. But I guess it's not too late for me to rewrite it using cfcom =)

congrats on a nice article.
