Desktop Flash Integration

Required: Proof of concept of flash desktop integration Background: The windows desktop has the ability to use an html file as the background. Within this html file it is possible to create an embedded flash object and thus have a flash application running on the desktop background. Neat little trick. You do this by right-clicking on the desktop, clicking properties, selecting desktop tab, click browse button and select an html file from the file system. Task: Create a very simple .net 1.1 windows application with a very simple interface that integrates with and controls an instance of a flash object that is hosted in an html page that is loaded as the BACKGROUND of the window desktop. Demonstrate this by changing a setting in the web client and seeing the corresponding response by the flash object hosted in the html page running as the desktop background. Constraints: - No security dialogs or warnings may appear - Method for integrating with the flash file must be extensible and some sort of interprocess communication that is NOT file system based - Method must not require hosting any other software on the system... acceptable files are: 1) application exe and supporting assemblies, 2) html file, 3) flash swf ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
