RE: Push Information to Users Across Intranets
Yeah, it's a great idea if I was using a Flash Application. However all of my stuff is accessed traditionally or via their Intranet desktop browser. My option without adding more complexity to the application with other plugins is to either you a C# component in the browser or DHTML since they can access it by the web also. I appreciate your information, it's a great idea with a Flash app. However I think the 5x5 pixel Flash that calls the DHTML is the way to implement it in my case. -Original Message- From: Connie DeCinko [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 12:40 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Push Information to Users Across Intranets Similar idea.
