One of the first server controls I ever wrote was a control that rendered the object/embed html for a Macromedia Flash 4 or 5 ActiveX control. I lost the code a while back and made a couple of unsuccessfull attempts at rewring the control - not for lack of skill, but a lack of time.

I needed a control like this again the other day and so I googled “Flash Server Control” and I found my code here on this website. I thought it was very cool of Christoph Wille to take my code file and write an article around it for the German speaking ASP.NET community.

When I saw the code earlier this morning I was compelled to rewrite the control. The old code was funk, plain and simple. I wrote the control in Whidbey, but there are instructions in the Flash_Core.cs file that describe what needs to be down to make the code compile on 1.0 or 1.1
