I do not know if this is the best but if you are looking for a real application in Flash...

We built a database and search engine in Flash to provide Personal Protective Equipment information for First Responders. The database included pictures, technical specifications, administrative information and where and why used information on all of the PPE used by fire, police, abulance, paramedics, public works, hospital dispatch and public security in a lage city. It included a search function that allows the first responder to find out information such as:

What do the police wear on the heads when responding to a riot?
What do the different first responders carry as antidotes in case of a building collapse?
What respirators will firemen have when working on a marine emergency.
Print me a report of all of the headgear that paramedics use, with or without photos.

It is designed to be carried in the emergency vehicles and has no server component. The database is an XML file which is automatically constructed from a spreadsheet maintained by the user. It fits on a CD and runs when the CD is loaded. It also includes a training course on how to use the Search engine which is built using our training delivery system which is another "real" application that has been used in many other courses.


We used Flash since we had built a lot of expertise and tools in previous projects, it handles images nicely, the player/projector has a small footprint, it will run on and portable PC or in-vehicle computer, it was easy to make the user interface attractive.

We did this about 3 years ago and the technology is even better and more robust today.

What do you think are the best Flash projects and RIA's? I'm involved in
lots of project where I work and I am beings asked for examples more and
more as large companies begin to see the advantages of Flash based
interfaces and RIA's.

I want to persuade people that Flash isn't a toy  and I need some really
good examples of solid work. I have a few I always rely on but I though I
would put it to the vote. So what are your top ten?
