   main menu theme
  I want to give my games main menu a flash type of theme, Very Dynamic.How would I go about doing this?Would I have to make the main menu in D3D or is it possible to make the menu in flash and then import it into the c++ program?   
  Well, it should be possible, as your browser is just another (probably c++) application that uses the flash plugin to display videos / whatever. However I would write my own GUI system, as it is a great learning experience. I wrote mine 3 years ago and I plan on rewriting it, because of the stuff I learned from it.I'm not sure if there are GUIs to use for D3D (besides the one from the SDK), but I've seen some for OpenGl.   ;  It hasn't been updated in a while, but you could try  gameswf to embed flash in your program.   ;Scaleform.com is also great SDK for using flash movies in games (it was used in Crysis too) but it's not free.
