Want to replicate Flash player...
Hi,
I would like to start development on a simple interface for opening a window in Internet Explorer which can be manipulated by a data script. This, in all respects, is what 'Flash' does. But, can some one please explain a starting point for a programmer unfamiliar with the Windows O/s to start learning how to future proof a simple replica program of flash?
For example, I want to open a Live window in IE6-IE7 to start drawing pixels. Also, I understand that Java also opens a window for animation and program output. Exactly where is the code examples that would help me open a window in IE and draw a pixel to this window?
Also, would this be an add-on, extension, or applet for IE?
I hope I have not asked too much and please remember I will visit again and this is my first time here.

This is important and hard to explain so please bare with me.
Firstly, I want to be able to write an extension, applet, or addon, (I am unsure what you would call this code), for IE6-IE7 that would be triggered to process a source data file when the file was included in a HTML page as an object.
The fact is, how would one write an extention that opens a window in a HTML page for interaction? Another example of this type of code is Java where Java inserted in a webpage would open a simple window for input and output.
Basically, I want to write a simple program that does the same, but not using Java or Flash, but possibly in C or any variant. So, can you tell me what I should be looking for on msdn for this program? I tried searching for addon and extension but they do not seem to tell you how to open your own window in a HTML page as well as how to receive input from that window such as mouse clicks?
I am talking about writing a program that would basically open a window (like flash or java does) in a HTML document and process the source file for the object. I am not sure where to begin to find the relevant information on opening the window?
Does anyone know what I am talking about because I really do not know the jargon for windows programming!
