Wanted to place a Macromedia Flash object on a form. What is the best way
to accomplish this? Thanks.
 
Hello,

Thanks for your post. Please check to see if the Shockwave Flash Control
meetsyour requirements.

a. Add the Shockwave Flash control on the form the Tool Box.

b. Connect to the Shockwave Flash Animation File. To make the Shockwave
Flash control play back your Flash animation file, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the inserted Shockwave Flash control, and then click
Properties.
2. Click the Movie property. In the Value box, type the full Uniform
Resource Locator (URL) or drive path to the *.swf file that you want to
play.
3. Make sure that the Playing property is set to True.

For information about how to obtain Shockwave Flash, visit the following

Thanks. Can the SWF be embedded or must it be accessible via URL or UNC?
Can a dynamic UNC (built in script by concatenating the application.path
with the file name) work with this control during the form.load or form.open
event? Thanks.
 
Hi Dwayne,

Thanks for your feedback. Based on my research, you can use URL and UNC
with the Shockwave Flash control to play flash. You can also set the Movie
property of the control in script for dynamic UNC.

Example:

Sub LocateShock()
ShockwaveFlash#.Movie = "<URL or UNC>"
End Sub

NOTE: <ShockwaveFlash#> is the name of the Shockwave Flash Control on the
slide; Replace this with the actual name of the control.

Please feel free to post in the group if this solves your problem or if you
would like further assistance.
