Program against AveDesk or SysStats

I was thinking about a few utilities and was wondering if I should program against the AveDesk SDK or the SysStats SDK.

I would like to make a flash player (unless one exists) that gives you the ability to play flash movies in a desklet.

Any recommendations/suggestions?

Thanks.

Either way is fine. However, if you could code a general purpose OCX or specialized Flash holder SPL for SysStats, you'll surely have a larger audience than with a single purpose AveDesk desklet. If you can, balance your decision to maximize non-programmers ability to achieve something over reusable building blocks for fellow programmers (if I got the utilities approach right)

Well, there's an app [link], which can convert swf to exe (windowless).

It's great for CDs autoruns etc., but it's not free...

So it would be great, if there will be free alternative...

Good point. I think the the Flash wrapper for SysStats would be probably the most beneficial to anyone this way it can be extended. The SysStats SDK will be where I look.

Sorry to sound dumb but what does SPL mean?

Thanks again.

Spontaneous Papyrus Load, of course. ;)

Wouldn't it be possible just to make in general an ActiveX control wrapper and apply Flash to it in this particular instance?

Or, for that matter, a web-browser control?

And there you have it folks, straight from the source.
