Failed to import ActiveX COM object, ShockwaveFlash

[BisSoft]

Hi

I tried to import SchokWaveFlash COM object onto my form. I succesifuly
find it in Reference browser within COM objects and add it to the toolbox,
but when I drag the control on the form it gives me the following message:
"Failed to import ActiveX Control. Please ensure that it is properly
registered"

I know for a fact that this object can regularily be imported, because I
have downloaded an example from codeproject where a guy did the same thing
and it works for him. The difference is that he used C# -VS.NET 2003 and I
am using C# -VS.NET 2005


Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks,
Bis.Soft

Hi,

I think you may try to use the .NET tool Windows Forms ActiveX Control
Importer (Aximp.exe) which will do the similar job when added the control
onto the toolbox.
Please use the /verbose to see if there will be more information when
importing.
Windows Forms ActiveX Control Importer (Aximp.exe)

Also you may try to add reference to the VS.NET 2003 IDE generated interop
assembly(for ax, there should be two assemblies) in VS.NET 2005 to see if
that works for you.
