SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SERVER-SIDE CONTROL OF A FLASH PRESENTATION

摘要

A system and method for controlling a Flash presentation on a client device (112) through the use of a command received from a server (116) is disclosed. The Flash presentation may be further synchronized to a programming signal by receiving a Universal Resource Indicator (106) ("URL") specifying the location of a Flash movie (118) that relates to the programming signal (104); retrieving the Flash movie (122) from the location; loading the Flash movie (122) onto the client device (112) including a Flash player; establishing a connection between the client device (112) and a server (116); and receiving a command from the server to direct the Flash movie on the client device. A Flash presentation may also be used to present a real-time data feed on a client device (112) under the control of a server (116). The server (116) receives a real-time data feed and generates a command directed to a Flash movie on the client device. The command directs the presentation of the Flash movie (118).
