I have recently been placed on a software project where they want the user interface to be developed using flash. The programming language is C, and the program currently runs (with many bugs) on a Mac. As I understand it, they are currently invoking an instance of a web browser, and then using the browser's flash plugin to make the user interface work.
My concern is that if I use this method in developing the Windows version of the program, then our program will break every time the user installs a new version of Internet explorer, and also every time the user installs a new version of Flash.
So, my question is twofold. First, is it possible to embed a flash player directly into our application without having to rely on Internet Explorer? Second, is it possible to embed a specific *version* of the flash player into our application? That way, even if the user upgrades his/her flash player, our application will have its own version of the player, and it will remain unchanged.
Thankee much- I don't want to look dumb in front of my new boss.
