Hello i am newbie for your forum :). A lot of thanks for welcome.

I would to know about Flex and Visual Basic 2008 ( 9 Version with SP 1 ) because it is different with “fscommand” or “externedinterface.call”

I know that adding with shockwave in Visual Basic 2008 like old version of using object.  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/flashvb.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/flashvb.htm)

But it is old version! I am using Visual Studio 2008 Pro with Service Pack 1 …  
I want to create swc with externedinterface or fscommand like MDM Zinc 3.x or Rapid applications…  
Can you say me when your simple example for code?  
I want to know:

- How do i exit an Application from Visual Basic 2008 while i click with externedinterface by Flex-Application.
