SWFKit 2 Compatibility

[sydb1974]

Hello All,

We used a different program to make a Flash Presentation that accesses an Access DB locally....problem is, that program isn't compatible with Win98 First Edition, which is what many of the users are using as their OS.

a) I read about the DB connectivity....but just to make sure, is SWFKit able to access a local DB without any extra installations of software?

and

b) What is the scope of SWFKit's compatibility? Would our app run on Win 98 First Edition?

Thanks,

Doug

Your app can run on Win98 1st edition. But SWFKit requires ADO and Jet driver to access Access DB.

You can get ADO and Jet driver from http://msdn.microsoft.com/data/mdac/default.aspx

You can check if the required ADO drivers have been installed like this

var conn = new ActiveXObject("ADODB.Connection");
if (conn == null)
{
if (Dialogs.msgBox("ADO hasn't been installed yet, install it now?", 1 | 32) != 1)
return false;

// install ADO
Shell.runAndWait(getAdditionalFile("MDAC_TYP.exe"));
}
