All what you should to do in the first is to import the this two reference in the project as in this figure .
In the InitializeComponent function from Form.Designer.cs define your flash object as this :this.AxShockwaveFlash1 = new AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash();
then
//
// AxShockwaveFlash1
//
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Enabled = true;
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 12);
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Name = "AxShockwaveFlash1";
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)(resources.GetObject("AxShockwaveFlash1.OcxState")));
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(525, 266);
To fill your Flash Object by SWF file:
// AxShockwaveFlash1
//
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Enabled = true;
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(12, 12);
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Name = "AxShockwaveFlash1";
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)(resources.GetObject("AxShockwaveFlash1.OcxState")));
this.AxShockwaveFlash1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(525, 266);
To fill your Flash Object by SWF file:
AxShockwaveFlash1.Movie = “c:\ahmed.swf”;
To forward or pause the flash object :
AxShockwaveFlash1.Forward();
To Play the flash object :
AxShockwaveFlash1.Play();
Nice post, Essawy
ReplyDeleteYou may got this error
Cannot initilize the component...
So Start->Run->
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash7.ocx
OR
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash8.ocx
OR
regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash9c.ocx
Just see your OCX version.
The download link is broken.

{
openFileDialog1.Filter = "swf File|*.swf";
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2;
if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

Hi, can you please tell me if it is possible to display a transparent swf in flash player in a WPF application. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
ReplyDelete@myncs
ReplyDeleteyes, it is possible to open SWF Flash in your WPF application but keep in mind that
#Adobe does not officially support embedding the Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX control within a Windows application. This means that future versions of the player may not work with your application.
#It requires users to install the Adobe Flash Player ActiveX control on their computers. This can be done by installing the player within Microsoft Internet Explorer. Although it is technically possible to distribute the player, that is restricted by the player's end-user license agreement. If you need to distribute the Adobe Flash Player ActiveX control, contact Adobe for permission.
here is a great post by Janiv Ratso
to do that step by step and source code is also available :)

I have embedded flash control to my C# app and am able to load swf files dynamically. I would like to send information to the swf (for example, my swf file picks data from an external text file) i want to be able to give the name of the text file to the swf file. how can i do this?
ReplyDelete@Muthu I didn't try that before but it is applicable and can be done very easy.
ReplyDeleteyou can google for that use key words like
"how to pass parameter from C# to flash swf".
