I have a MAX application and I want to include it into FLASH. All the graphics are done by a designer in FLASH.

Only the module where a computer keyboard acts as a piano I want to include in Flash. Namely, there are a specific keys on a komputer keyboard when pressed are sent to a piano (kslider object).

How can I include that portion of Max into Flash???

I notice you have started several other threads on related topics without much proceeding.

To get usable help, you must have an understanding of basic technical concepts relating to your problem. I suggest you familiar yourself with the following terms (check Wikipedia), then come back and try to ask your question again.

- Network protocol (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP ...)

- Web server
- Server side/Client side
- Flash
- ActionScript
- Network protocol (TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP ...)


I do not need to get familiar with any of those terms. I now all about them.

Hans, if you do not know the answer to my question ( many have known a little, not a lot more than me, that's why I keep on reposting the question) If you do not know the answer, do not post. Your suggestions are not valuable !!!!!

@KatKaDe As I and several people have pointed out, it is not possible to "include" any part of Max inside a Flash movie. All Max objects are dependant on the Max environment and can not work without it.

If you are indeed knowledgeable in the subjects I mentioned, you have probably already understood that Max can be run as a server-side process communicating with a client-side Flash application over a network protocol such as TCP/IP. Some quick searches around the forum would also have told you that several good implementations of this model exist, including FLOSC (

http://www.nullmedium.de/dev/flashserver/).

However, you seem to believe that Max objects, which are compiled for the native platform and linked against the Max environment, can be created and viewed inside a Flash player plugin in a web browser, GUI and all.

Sure, it would be nice to have that kind of interoperability, but they are two completely different systems. I'd love to have things like preset, kslider, multislider, even Max-style number boxes available in Flash, with the easy means of changing their appearance and attributes. Lots of this *could* be done in Flash, but it would take forever. On the flip side, having things like the timeline and some of the organizational features of the Flash application would be great in Max. (Not to mention the browser capability, but we won't go there...)

As a workaround, though, you can communicate back and forth between the two environments as detailed on this thread, but you can't share GUI objects directly. Though I'm sure there are some clever tricks here as well... floating, no-title-bar patch with the [kslider] hovering next to the Flash app?

You might also check out [jweb] to see if you can bring the Flash part to Max rather than the other way around.

And finally, it would be most helpful to post responses that give other people---that are volunteering their time to try and help you---the respect they deserve, regardless of how valuable you believe their help to be. Not all posts will give you the answers you need, and many questions remain unanswered after dozens of replies. That's just how it works, and it works best when there is mutual respect, no matter how fast or slow the progress may be.
