Use

Adobe Flash Islands is based on Adobe Flex ( http://www.adobe.com/flexInformation published on non-SAP site). Adobe Flex provides a standard development environment that can be used to create Rich Internet Applications (RIA). The developed RIAs can be run on all large browser platforms and operating systems.

Applications created with Adobe Flex can be integrated into Web Dynpro ABAP. This enables standard Web Dynpro to be enhanced with new building blocks. These new components are implemented with Adobe Flex and run locally on the client PC or browser. A FlashIsland UI element can be embedded into Web Dynpro views, can access Web Dynpro context, and can trigger Web Dynpro actions.
