Hmm... If you are so crazy with flash, why not just trash VB?? Flash can make stand alone .exe´s you know?

Nice conversation going on about Flash and VB?.. lol. I don't wanna thrash VB, coz I'm using it for 4-5 years. Oops, I'm not 'crazy' or anything about Flash either :). Let me put it this way.. Flash is great as a cool, light weight interface designer- and VB is great as a RAD. Both of them are for different purposes, and hence, a comparison itself is out of scope. This tutorial is to teach you how to combine both, to add a new dimension to your VB applications. Enjoy

FANTASTIC !!! I've been looking for source like this FOREVER . . . everytime I did a search I came up with aenemic samples . . . you've not only provided the source and samples but a full blown (far from aenimic) Tutorial. I've been moping around the Flash Pool for the longest . . . with the yearn but not the will continue exploring Flash and learning the app because of this integration obstacle that I'd run into . . . you've revitalized the effort . . . . Eternally Greatful . . . if there is any way for me to show my appreciation via Patronidge or anything else Pleeese let me know . . . . Oh and by the way . . . thanx Planet-Source . . . luv you guyZ DaGaaR
