Putting Flex and Flash to Work on the Vista Sidebar

Posted on by

Running Flash in the Vista Sidebar If you haven’t seen this, it’s worth checking out. Lee Brimelow of Frog Design has put together examples of a Flash widget and a Flex widget running as a gadget on the Windows Vista Sidebar. Gadgets are just mini HTML/Ajax applications so Lee included the Flash Player from the browser in the mix and viola, a Flash gadget for Vista.

It opens up a ton of possibilities with expanding the richness of gadgets for the Sidebar. I would love to see someone like yourminis release some of their widgets as Sidebar gadgets. Maybe a Twitter widget :)
