Embeding Flash File into Windows Form

Question

Hello I want to embed a flash file into my Windows form to use in my application and not for a webpage. Is this even possible? I have right clicked on the properties of the Shockwave Flash Object but am confused by the amount of options - I have set 'Embed Movie' to 'True' but am having no luck in finding out what the 'Movie' and 'Movie Data' fields are for. I have put the string private void axShockwaveFlash2_Enter(object sender EventArgs e) { this.axShockwaveFlash1.LoadMovie(0 C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\My Documents\Flash File\CalmBay1.swf); } My flash file however doesn't load on my form and i'm stumped on how to get this to work!

I assume you have AxShockwaveFlashObjects.dll and ShockwaveFlashObjects.dll referenced in your project Also using AxShockwaveFlashObjects; using ShockwaveFlashObjects; AxShockwaveFlash axShockwaveFlash = new AxShockwaveFlash (); private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { axShockwaveFlash.Location = new System.Drawing. Point (50 50); this .Controls.Add(axShockwaveFlash); axShockwaveFlash.Movie = ( C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\My Documents\Flash File\CalmBay1.swf ); axShockwaveFlash.Size = new System.Drawing. Size (150 150); // set size as required axShockwaveFlash.Play(); }

Try starting a timer in the form load event. Set the timer to a a second or so put this in the timer event timer1.Stop(); axShockwaveFlash1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(50 50); this.Controls.Add(axShockwaveFlash); axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = (C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Desktop\Balao passeando.swf); axShockwaveFlash1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150 150);// set size as required axShockwaveFlash1.Play();

Hi Apologies for bringing this up again but for some reason my flash files aren't appearing when my form loads. I have two references called AxShockwaveFlashObjects and ShockwaveFlashObjects . Here is my code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using AxShockwaveFlashObjects; using ShockwaveFlashObjects; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class SplashScreen : Form { AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash axShockwaveFlash = new AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash(); //AxShockwaveFlash axShockwaveFlash = new AxShockwaveFlash(); public SplashScreen() { InitializeComponent(); } private void SplashScreen_Load(object sender EventArgs e) { axShockwaveFlash1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(50 50); this.Controls.Add(axShockwaveFlash); axShockwaveFlash1.Movie = (C:\Documents and Settings\Gary\Desktop\Balao passeando.swf); axShockwaveFlash1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150 150);// set size as required axShockwaveFlash1.Play(); } private void SplashScreen_Load_1(object sender EventArgs e) { } private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { MainMenu MainMenu = new MainMenu(); MainMenu.ShowDialog(); } } } I do have the file on my desktop and I have a Shockwave Flash Object on my form. I'm not sure where i'm going wrong because I have followed the code supplied
