Hi Friends!

  Howz the day? Can anyone came across of this situation before? I want to run the .swf(which is already in the specified folder) in the VB6.

What are all the components to be included and the neccesary things for the above task.

First, you'll need the ActiveX Shockwave Control, usually named as Flash.ocx.

next, you have to tell us what you need,..

we can play swf files in a vb project(program) by instanciating the flash control on a form and then specifying the location of the file, will it be playing at the start(which is when the form loads) and others....

well... if your intention is to merely play the flash file, then i guess this thread ends here.  

otherwise... we'd have to get into FSCOMMANDS and other stuff, eh?

Hi VbGen,

     I think the FSCOMMANDS are in FlashScript.Thanks to your snippets.

    I would like to tell you more about my questions in precise way.I generated the XML through VB, through the XML file i have to generate the flash file(Anyway i written the coding part related to that xml) automatically and convert to .swf file.

Later that .swf file has to play in the flash.ocx in the vb environment.

N.B: The flash part (i written the code part related to the xml file and stored it as .fla but automatically that .fla has to run and created the .swf file) on behind the screen and finally that .swf file has to play in the vb environment.

Any idea about this preoblem,just tell your suggestion,snippets or peice-of-code to go further.Thanks in advance.

Cheers

i wouldn't know if it's possible to run the .fla file and have it create its .swf version, although send keys method may work, but if you want it to happen behind screen(invisible), i don't think that'll work..

i do think that loading a .swf into a flash control in a vb program is possible.

so far, unless you can compromise the scenario you want, i don't think you can go any further..

Include the ActiveX Control into your project (include the Flash player).Add that activex control to your form, then to that object try including the source and then run the form..

Its been long that I worked with VB 6..
