ShockWave

is there a specail tool i have to have or can i make 1 in VB?

what do you mean reading? is it aready in VB?

Yes, there are some Macromedia controls that you can add to your projects.

what is it called? and how do i use it?

I'm not sure on how to use it because I haven't myself, but to get them right-click the Toolbox (not the toolbar), select Components, check the one you want (it probably is something like Macromedia Flash...), and hit Okay; a new button for the control will appear in the toolbar.

I've heard it's a pretty involved control -- has access to the programming language of Flash and that (this is what I've heard)

Here are a bunch of threads on Flash BTW: http://www.vbforums.com/search.php?s...der=descending
