Shockwave flash control.........

[rammy]

Hi,

Im using the shockwave Flash control in my form to play a .swf(ShockWaveFile) file. I've made the control fullscreen size.

How do I detect when the mouse has been moved/clicked or a key pressed over this control? It doesns't seem to have a keypress or mouseover event as other controls.

I need to figure this out coz Im using it to create a screensaver.

Thanx

I had that same problem once. I used the gotFocus event when I wanted to detect te mouse-click. This did not work excellent. I had to add a setFocus to another object to let the focus go. It somehowe does not work exactly like a mouse-click, but for me it was good enough.

Where do you get this control? Could you send it to [email protected] please?

You can Ask The flash movie to tell the VB application what is happening in it ...

for example you ll have in a flach movie a button ...

in the MouseOver Event of the Button insert a FS Command

with any parameter and any argument... both will be passed to your VB application ... you can capture then in tha method :

Private Sub Flash1_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal args As String)

Debug.Print command
Debug.Print args

End Sub

cybersurfer,

Try going to Project --> components. u should see it there as Shockwave flash. Else see if "swflash.ocx" is present i the Windows\system Folder.
