Drag it onto your form.
Name if AxFlash
in your program...
AxFlash.Movie="your file name.swf")
AxFlash.Play()
If you just can't find the control, there are several sections in your tool bar, look in all of them. Plus, in the WindowsForms section of the tool bar, if the control is at the end, you will have to scroll down to see it.
After you have added the swflash object into your toolbar, just drag it onto your stage. Set the "Movie" Property to your swf location (local or remote doesnt matter)
To interact with flash via your VB application use the following two commands
the setvariable example I have shown will take the text value of Textbox1 and set it to whatever variable you want defined in the code. you can combine multiple textboxes for development if needed(always helps me)
variables can be retrieved and set in many ways
_root.
_level0.
or just as
variable1 (gets from _root.)
so if you have a movieclip(menu) within a movieclip(maincontent) and the variable on the menu mc is button1val
