Any ideas/tutorials/resources?

TIA,

Hi,
To use flash player in your VB app, there are 2 methods:

First one is using Flash ActiveX control in your project which has a
bug with giving a error, can be solved by re-building the solution.
To insert flash control in your toolbox, toolbox -> choose items ->
flash9b.ocx or like that (for higher flash versions) named "Shockwave
Flash Object".

Second is to use webbrowser control which is good alternative, enter
flash movie's (usually .swf) as webbrowser control's URL then
navigate.

Hope this helps, let us know.
 
Thanx to both repliers! I really should have Googled first, but I had been
having no success on other topics, so I tried here first. It wil take me a
couple of days to try it, so I will get back to you later.

Thanx again,

As i pointed, just insert Shockwave Flash Object, then you may get an
error when bringing control over your form, don't panic, just re-build
the solution with right-click then re-place the control. Now, you're
ready to set the "Movie" URL that Flash ActiveX Control will show.

Or place webbrowser control simply, then place flash movie's URL as
the URL to be navigated.

That's all.
