Has anyone had any experience with the reliability of embedding a flash
animation in a C# form?
 
Reliability in what way? You add it to the form, load the animation, and it
works. You just need to ensure the target machine has the correct activex
control installed.
 
Unexpected hangs, unexpected error messages etc.

If it's for a C# app that will be downloaded from the Internet by anyone,
can we ensure that the target machines have the correct Active-X control
installed?
 
Actually while I'm on the subject, I wonder what alternative I could use
instead of Flash for an animation?

We currently use Flash on our asp.net website. The particular Flash swf
reads a dynamically-generated XML file to insert the current language text
into the animation so we don't have to create a whole lot of swf files --
i.e. one for each language.

I was hoping to do the same thing on the C# windows application. Ideally we
wouldn't have flash as we'd prefer to stick with something native .net and
that doesn't rely on third party software.

The animation itself is relatively simple -- it's a tutorial showing the
mouse clicking on a menu drop-down, scrolling down and selecting a
menu-item. We want to dynamically write the text labels for each menu-item
though in the correct language.
