VB might be one of the greatest tools for fast programming but - the user interface! isn't it at least a little clumpsy and boring? But there ist help, called macromedia flash! I think much mor coders would like to use flash-movies for the user-end but ... isn't it a pain to handle the inteface? NO IT ISN'T ans it's worth to become familiar to it!
Inputs
you need of course the actual flash.ocx to get the movie run! look for the newest flash-playler on macromedia.com and install the FREE player. the OCX will be there...
Assumes
of course, one must dive a little into the action-script language of flash, but it's rather close to VB (except little but disturbing diffeences like i.e. the double == for logical comparisons). Again: it's worth to spend some time on it!
