ComponentOne Flash for WinForms

ComponentOne Flash for WinForms is sold as part of the ComponentOne Studio Enterprise and the ComponentOne Studio for WinForms.

C1Flash is a library that allows you to create Macromedia Flash (.SWF) documents from your applications. The Macromedia Flash file format (SWF) delivers vector graphics and animation over the Internet to the Macromedia Flash Player. The SWF file format is designed to be a very efficient delivery format, not a format for exchanging graphics between graphics editors. It is designed to meet the following goals, with which some other file formats cannot compete:

• On-screen display The format is primarily intended for on-screen display and supports anti-alias’ing, fast rendering to a bitmap of any color format, and animation
• Extensibility The format is a tagged format, so it can be evolved with new features while maintaining backward compatibility with earlier versions of Flash Player
• Network delivery The format can travel over a network with limited and unpredictable bandwidth
• Simplicity The format is simple so that Flash Player is small and easily ported
• Scalability The files work well on limited hardware, and can take advantage of better hardware when it is available. This is important because computers have different monitor resolutions and bit depths
• Speed The files render at a high quality very quickly
