    Flash (swf) in VB.net??

    Hi,

    Just a quick question...

    Has anyone used VB.net to play a flash file? and how is it done?
    All I need to do is get my VB.NET application to play a flash file until it
    gets to the stop command within the flash file

    [We currently use Macromedia Director to display Flash files and Video
    files, but now want to move onto vb.net as a main language]

    Cheers,


    TD

          Tim,

          This is one way of doing it (using vb .net 2003)

          Start with a blank form app;
          Right click on your components toolbox menu and choosing add/remove items;
          Click on the COM components tab;
          Check the 'shockwave flash object' then click ok (not the macromedia flash
          object);
          Drag the new component to your form, and set the 'movie' property to the
          full path of your flash movie;


          If you cannot see the 'shockwave flash object' component, download and
          install the latest shockwave and flash players (even if you think you have
          the latest ones).

          I have done a lot of work in Director and I am fairly new to vb .net, though
          have programmed in other languages. For a very GUI intensive CD, you will
          find trying to achieve similar graphical display elements a lot more long
          winded in VB .net. However, obvioulsy vb .net is a lot more flexible in
          other ways.

          Note that using Flash as a component in VB .net is not supported by
          Macromedia (now Adobe).

          If you want any more info/advice please let me know,

          JJ
