Thanks ryanm, I hadn't heard of this implementation before, probably because not much has been published about it (that I can find) since its release in 1996. This doesn't fill me with confidence that it would be a workable solution for embedding Flash content in native OSX apps.
I guess this isn't really what Flex is made for anyway. It just seems like a nice tool to develop visual components that can be used inside other programs. It works fine on Windows with an ActiveX host (in my case, Omnis Studio), but I can't see a way on Mac. Presumably, even if I did build an ActiveX integration layer, I would still need to recompile the Flash Player ActiveX control from the source on Mac anyway - not something we have access to. Anyway, thanks for the idea, I learnt something new. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ryanm Sent: Wednesday, 12 July 2006 5:27 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Mac equivalent of ActiveX > Open source != open specs. > You can get source on the web if you look for it. > Isn't IE on the Mac dead these days anyway ? > Not even close. Funny how the dev geeks always seem to think so (wishful thinking?), but server stats say otherwise. ryanm -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
