flash in wxPython

Hi

I've been looking at the ActiveX_FlashWindow widget in wxPython 2.5.1, and
I was wondering, what are the implications for using flash in a wxPython
application? I'm thinking of using flash to draw graphs (the alternative is
to use wxPython's drawing routines, but I think that flash might take some
of the work off my hands).

Would using the ActiveX_FlashWindow mean that the application will only
work under Windows? Is there a way of using flash in applications without
compremising cross-platform compatability?

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject.

Yes. ActiveX is a Windows only technology.

Not currently.
