deploying program

[mrcw]

Hi, I've written a program called ATC in which I show some shockwave movies. It works fine on my computer, but when I deploy it to another computer it can't show the shockwave movies because they are not avaialable on the new computer because they are on my computer.

I've tried adding a new folder called movies to ATC in the solution explorer and putting the movies in there. The shockwave object needs the address of the movie to show e.g.axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = c:/Airport.swf".

I even tried using Application.StartupPath but no luck.

How can I put my movies in my project so I can deploy it to another computer.

thank you

copy the movies to the directory same as your program and use the relative path, e.g. axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = "Airport.swf".

that only works for movies stored on my computer eg c:/Airports.swf not anywheRE else.

I've found that for some very annoying reason my copy vs2010 pro isn't letting me use relative addressing. I'll try reinstalling it.

if you want your program works everywhere without copying the moives with your program, you could put the movies on some site, then download it before play it.
