Splash screen with movie

Tim
Hi all!

I'm new in Vb.net. Can you tell me how can I see a movie
in a windows form? It can be on swf, avi or mpg.

Thank you all in advance.

Best regards

Host the explorer activeX control on the splash form.

Create a COM reference to shdocvw.dll, you'll get an AxBrowser interop
assembly that you can fiddle with.

Point the browser at an HTML file with an embetted movie and it'll play it.
