HI Im have a windows app project being developed using Adobe Flash, this app is to have a custom dictionary that communicates with the flash app, for instance:

if the user clicks a word in the flash app, it is to open the window/form with the word and definition etc, but NB: this app is going to be running on machines not on the network and internet connectivity so i also hv to make this executable to be published on the CDs, im new at C# but i knw my way around it... (Im more of the php programmer though)
please help!!

1. how do i do i develop a portable db for the dictionary (wat can i use, obviously not SQL)?
2. How may i link to two apps?
3. after im done is there a way of making the flash stuff combined as executable with the installation?

1 - you can in fact use SQL, there's a version called SQL Embedded that does not require any external files
2 - you can use a variety of inter process communication mechanisms in C#, but I have no idea what, if anything, flash supports. The simplest and most primitive thing is to watch a file in the file system and write messages to the other app there. Just about anything else would be better.
3 - You can write an installer that installs any combination of files you desire.
