New Idea

Bob,

I was wondering if it would be possible to have what I call a "live html page" inside KM?

If anyone is familar with the Talisman Desktop (http://www.lighttek.com) they have this option, but for desktop design.

Flash (using KM) could be such an awesome web interface if somehow a web frame object (programming lingo) could incorporate an html page that has scroll bar etc...

KM already has an URL action method to go to a web site, but it loads the web page using an external browser such as IE or NAV.

Could KM link to a web page and load it into this "web frame" that resided inside KoolMove?

THIS WOULD BE A REAL KOOL-MOVE!

Thanks,
fwhilton

To be honest I answered this today in the scripting and backend board. The SWF format does not allow for this type of action in itself but since the SWF format can be incorperated into a programing language such as VB, C++, and JAVA it is possible to write a web browser that uses a SWF as a front end and the more powerful language as a backend.

The most likely programing language for this type of action would be Java (and I'm looking for the documentation for incorperating the SWF format into Java) becuase it allows for a lot of connectivity (Through the Java AWT class) without the hassles of C++ (and besides someone has already written a Java based web browser and posted the source code- he he he)

If I have any sucess I will post it for you.
