I have been trying to execute methods inside Flash from a VB.NEt windows forms application and also trying to capture Flash events in VB.NET . Something that this article is talking about. I will highly appreciate if you can provide a sample application to highlight the same. I have been encountering errors when trying to do so.

My email address is nram@mncebiz.com

Thanks in advance

Ok. I'm a 16 yr old VB.NET programmer with 2 yrs exp of trial-and-error lessons, so cut me some slack. I've added a reference to the control (for me - flash9c.ocx) and in the code I have created a new instance (fcMain) and initialized the settings (LoadMovie()). Then I realized.... this isn't showing on the form. I need to know how to display the control on the form. I've tried adding it to the toolbox, however, when I try to use it, it says "Failed to import the ActiveX control. Please ensure it is properly registered." ... whatever that means. Any Help? Thanks.

i want to use .swf in the .NET Compact Framework. How can can i do that?

any help is appriciated.

je ve code de flash avec vb2005

I want to run a flash file and  a mediaplayes file in VB.NET windows application. Pls tell me    the way.

Thank u

@Anu, here's how you do the flash file part.

First you want to add the "Flash" control to the Toolbox:

Right-click on the Toolbox, choose "Add/Remove items..."

Select the "COM Components" tab

Scroll down to "Shockwave Flash Object" and make sure it's ticked

Click OK

Drag the "Shockwave Flash Object" from the toolbox onto the Form (just like any other control)

Righ-click on the new object and select "Properties" to show the custom properties panel

Some things to keep in mind...

You probably don't want to hard-code the URL for the move in the properties dialog, so try setting the "Movie" property to something like Application.StartupPath + "\\MyMovie.swf"

If you want to talk to the Flash movie from C# (or VB.NET or whatever) then you need to use the "SetVariable" method

If you want to talk to the host Windows Forms app from Flash, use FSCommand... you'll need to add an event handler in your Windows Forms app

Debugging is a real pain, if someone out there knows of a nice way to debug this combo, please let me know!

For communication, I prefer to use XML, as I can have any simple/complex data I like going back and forth. The C# to Flash communication is done via a Queue, Flash tells the C# host when it's ready for another message by using a FSCommand, at which point C# sends the next message on the queue. When a new message is added to the Queue, it checks if Flash is ready and if so sends it straight away, otherwise it's added to the queue ready for the next "I'm ready" command from Flash.

I can post some sample code if needed, but I'm sure most of you get the idea.

whenever i am going to Drag the "Shockwave Flash Object" from the toolbox onto the Form (just like any other control) an error prompt "fail to import the ActiveX Control. please insure it is properly registered "

if any one who have solution for it, kindly inform me

@ tabishghaz@yahoo.com

This does not work as written up and as advertised (VS 2005 Enterprise C# .Net forms app.)

Adding the reference to the COM DLL and then adding it to the form generates the "fail to import the ActiveX Control. please insure it is properly registered " nonsense.

I tried generating an AxImp (interop) dll using the flash DLL and all that did is give me a malformed interop DLL.

Why am I not surprised, Flash is not an open spec and Adobe does nothing to support hard client developers.

They just want to get everyone's content wrapped up in their proprietary format so that they hold the keys to the kingdom. I'm no M$ fan, but I hope that SilverLight crushes this POS...

Hi,

I have read the article msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa446515.aspx  from msdn.

And i have tried to practise the necessary steps.

But unfortunately i haven't achieved to run a flash application.

I have followed the steps below:

1-) I have installed Shockwave Flash player control by Macromedia both my development machine and sbc.

2-) Then i have added the dll after changing it to Flash.dll.

3-)And i have run the command below:

AxImp.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wmp.dll /source

And 3 files have occured as it is mentioned in the article.

4-)I have added the WMPLib.dll reference to the project.

But (as it is said in the article),no components have added to the toolbox.And when i wanted to add any dll (flash,WMPLib.dll ),i have got the error as being unsuitable for adding.

5-)Anyway,i wrote something as below:

ShockwaveFlash sf = new ShockwaveFlash();

sf.LoadMovie(1, "c:/unicycle.mpeg");

sf.Play();

But i got error when deploying to the wince 5 installed sbc.

What is the problem?

Thanks in advance.

P.S:When i want to add shockwave com on the toolbox,yes i can see tha com and it is ticked.But after clickin ok,nothing is added to the toolbox.

Thanks alot...

This article was so helpful...

Thanks again

Hey I have a problem also with dragging the shockwave flash object into the form it says that "Failed to import the ActiveX control. Please ensure it is properly registered".. what might be the cause of this problem? i cant do the following steps that you said because of that error.. i need it so badly.. :D thanks by the way. i really have to use flash with my C# application..

Hey, I have successfully used this ocx control but I have faced some limitations in it. I jumped to any specific frame no by using gotoframe() method given in this control, It do jumped also but the problem arise when I try to jump on frame which is greater than 12,500 i.e: It only understands starting 12,500 frames of the movie although it do play frame grater than 12,500 but the problem is to jump. Do anyone has idea about this problem.

Plus I also want to play the movie at 1/2X,2X,4X speed, Is it possible using this control or I should look for another and what should that ANOTHER(remember I need it on windows form).

regards.

how can i bind xml data to axShockwave control

can anybody help me out

Just for the record, flash10b.ocx (and earlier versions) have hardcoded powerpnt,word, excel, iexplorer process names, and it forbids CallFunction to be called from any dll's loaded with this processes, so if you want to create AddIn for Office, CallFunction call to flash ActiveX is not an options :(. If any one find how to make this call work ( exept editing flash.ocx. I changed one byte in powerpnt hardcoded string anf my AddIn is  working now :) ) pleaseeee send me info at ender357 at gmail.com

Yes, using Fscommand can be good, but i prefer to use flash.external.ExternalInterface, first I used it with javascript, but later, I develop a serial port app, that display flash animation using this as3 and as3 class.

A good example can be found at CodeProject

www.codeproject.com/.../flashexternalapi.aspx

To communicate xml data I passed the xml as string and then in flash with that string I create an xml object

new XML(xmlStr);

hi every body

i added a shokware flash object to my toolbox buttons but it's inactive and i can't Drag the "Shockwave Flash Object" from the toolbox onto the Form.

Why is it inactive ?

Any help would be appreciated...

Keep in mind that to play flash movie you need initialize property "Movie" with a FULL path and a file name of flash file.

Thanks! It works! I just embedded worldkit, flash control on c# windows forms. It works great.

I have successfully added Shockwave Flash object to my Windows form application. I added an installer class to package my application. If i install the application from the package in the Debug folder it runs fine. However, if i install the package from the Release folder it doesn't launch and complains about the Flash object. I have include the Flash dll in the installer. Does anyone know what is going wrong here.
