Playing Flash Animations in .NET

I am developing a windows application and want to display
a flash animation in a splash screen.

I have the .fla file but i dont know how to load it into
the shockwave flash object that I have on my form. I have
tried this code in the forms load code but no no joy

Me.vrFlash.Load Movie(1, C:\Splash.fla")
Me.vrFlash.Play ()

Any ideas?

Many thanks in advance

One possible way of doing this is to create a new form (set the
FormBorderStyle to None to give you the splash window look), add a Web
Browser Control, resize it to fit the full height/width of the splash form &
then navigate the control to your flash movie as the form loads.

Not very elegant but may point you in the right direction.

Easy. I assume you want to add it to a Windows Form. Just add the "Shockwave Flash Object" to you toolbox and drag it onto a new form. This will then allow you to embed the Flash Active-X control as any other control on a Windows form. You can then set the SWF filename via code or the editor. Note however that this assumes that the user has Flash installed on their machines. I don't think you can legally redistribute the Flash OCX.

Hi, I use a handy little Javascript Flash detection script on a number of sites (copied below). Usually works great, but I just started trying Firefox and it's not working. A few browsers are referenced in the script so I presume that Firefox needs to be added somewhere -- does anyone know how I could update this to be supported by Firefox? Thanks! <SCRIPT TYPE="text/JavaScript">

Hi there, I'm creating an advertisement system that will have several Flash animations to be displayed. However, I'm looking for a way to check if the visitor's browser supports displaying Flash. The purpose is to be able to programmatically display a regular GIF version of the advertisement instead if the browser does not support Flash. I know that several other sites have this functionality, but is it something that ASP.NET can take...

I'm trying to use a Shockwave Flash file as is except for a line of text that it displays. I'd like to hide that line of text, and so I tried to create a black mask to do it. However, I can't move the mask over the text. This is the idea: <div id="inside"> <embed>...</embed> <div id="mask"></div>

What are the advantages/disadvantages of using the Flash component on my screensaver application? The basic animation that the screensaver will include can be done either with Flash or by writing code. But with the Flash control, I can easily add much more fancy animation. But I don't know what disadvantages (in terms of user installation, PC requirements during installation, etc) may arise from using this Flash component. Any help is...

I have a webpage that has two flash animations running. I also have a javascript script running that rotates 3 images and fades them in and out. To do the fading and rotating in javascript I am using the setInterval function, like this: setInterval(function () {imageFade()},10); This works fine in Firefox, but in IE 7, the flash animations slow down a lot, and the javascript fading/rotation slows down some.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
