Embedding Flash in Visual Basic

[LEEROOY]

Hello,

I'm a Flash developer myself and I decided to put some of my work in Visual basic Apps. I remember doing this a few years ago and I tried it today and it didn't really work out.

I know you need to add the shockwave flash object function in the toolbar.
And then drag it on your form.

But I can't seem to find the function where to select my .swf (flash movie file) in the properties panel.
Yes I already tried googling it and I only find the ones that are made in VB6.

I'd really appreciate any help.
I hope this is posted in the right section.

Oh so it can only be done through code?

Thanks a lot.
I'm definitely going to check that out.

you could use a webbrowser if you are confident with html and can setup a shockwave object in html. something like this would work

Dim SourceHTML as String = "<object width='550' height='400'>" & _
                                      "<param name='movie' value='somefilename.swf'>" & _
                                      "<embed src='somefilename.swf' width='550' height='400'>" & _
                                      "</embed></object>"
WebBrowser1.DocumentText = SourceHTML
