Hello, everyone...

WHo among you guys actually use FLASH as another software or website developing tool?

Hi vbgen,

Seeing as you have had a great response to your post    .... I thought I'd just let you know that whilst I haven't that much experience with Flash, I have used s program called Swish which is basically Flash but with a few built in effects.

What exactly are you trying to do??

well, shady.. i jsut wanted to see how many of us here incorporate FLASH in their vb program development, or whoever simply uses flash, whether for fun or for websites or other stuff...

it's just that FLASH can be a truly helpful tool in expanding the capabilities that a regular vb-made program can do.  

Swish works like flash, easing off the coding part, and the other technical stuff.

I would be interested to know exactly how Flash can be incorporated into vb programs!

Tell me more

of course... you start with the FLASH.OCX control...

since you used Swish... i'd have to ask...

do you anything about FSCOMMANDS?

No, not heard of them.

What do they do??

well, if you don't use internal actionscripting in your flash file, the FSCOMMAND helps use the file as a control component inside another program, like Visual Basic...

inside the flash file, you can insert a code to do a certain command, let's say Clicky... for a button, and Typey for a textbox type of clip in flash...

when you get to the flash control inside vb... there will be an option...

Private Sub ShockwaveFlash1_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal args As String) End Sub

where the command variable is a string...

then you'd go

Select Case command     Case "Clicky"         MsgBox "You clicked the button"     Case "Typey"         MsgBox "Typed!" End Select

well, sort of like that...

got the idea? at least your interested.    g'nyt
