Hi,

Can someone tell me how to get a flash file to play in Visual Basic .net?
(VS2005)

Tried adding a com component to the toolbox (as it worked in VS2003), but
this produces an error in 2005 (seems to be a know bug with VS2005)

All I want to do is PLAY flash files - and maybe control them (ie. play,
pause, send vars to/from)

Can someone help me or guide me as to how to do this? I'm happy to pay for a
component if there is one out there!

(I've come from a macromedia Director background, and adding a flash file as
an asset is so easy, and can add a lot to an application)


Any help greatly appreciated,


Tim Dixon.
 
Ken, Thanks for the link - just what I needed!

Does anyone know of anything like this for winforms as well? (rather than
asp?)


TIA


Tim.

Hi Tim,

There are several designers that help you generate the correct client-side
content to run Flash. Here's one that's free:

Flash comes with an ActiveX player component. Search your references for
something like "ShockwaveFlash Object". Search the Flash Support website
for "scripting" & "ActiveX". Be warned, the ActiveX control is very
sparsely documented.
