Flash Plugin
-
In VB (I know you don't have to say it :( ) there was a Flash/Shockwave plugin so that you were able to include a Flash
.swffile within your application. I used to like to do this for my about boxes, and would like to do this inside a C# application but didn't know how to get the plugin, does anyone know anything about this? Nick Parker -

Nick ParkerI was wondering the same thing recently. I am keeping my eyes peeled. There is a bunch of Java based source for this floating around on the web, if you’re feeling ambitious…

Nick ParkerYeah, there's a flash plugin, deffinately. If you have the flash player installed on your system (if you can see flashes using IE you have it on your system) you can put one anywhere. In the form design view go up to "Tools"->"Customize Toolbox" and then scroll down and check the "Shockwave Flash Object". And hit "Ok". Now in your toolbox to the left, you can select/use it by draging it in. There is one major caveat, the Flash 6.0 (MX) plugin, doesn't work! It's a problem that Macromedia has been having, and it doesn't look like it will be resolved very soon (maybe within the next few months). So if you d/l the Flash 6.0 plugin, you won't be able to do a darned thing. However, there is still hope, you can uninstall it, and then d/l the Flash 5.0 player from here: http://www.macromedia.com/go/14266 Flash/C# seems to be a very powerfull combination... I am working on this. Flash has an incredible ability to present UI in a clean and beautiful way. It is very possible for Flash and C# talk to eachother, with that there are endless possibilities...

This doesn’t sound like a very usable solution if you have to convince your clients to degrade a 3rd party (possibly non-related) component to a previous version just so you’re about box (or entire application) will display correctly. I would hope that Macromedia addresses the problem soon, or an alternative solution becomes available. I did see the COM component you were talking about, but in my case, it refused to instantiate, period. I assume that is what you where referring to when you said “it doesn’t work”. Regards

I agree, it's not a long term solution at all to degrade to 5.0, I meant it simply as a way to develop, getting arround the bug in 6.0, as Macromedia is aware of this problem.

I agree, I was not discounting your solution, just the consequences. I actually have requested the SDK and SWF file format from Macromedia (there automatic registration for this is down at the moment) to see what it would take to develop a pure .NET solution. DirectX 9 (coming soon) is supposed to have full .NET support, it could be very interesting. Cheers

Thanks for the note, however it is rather troublesome when a current version (Flash) is not supported. Will keep up to see how things go. Thanks. :) Nick Parker
