Unload Form By Clicking on Flash Button

[Matt-T]

Hi,

I am trying to unload a form from clicking on a Flash Button!

I have been using the FSCommand function, to enable me to click on flash buttons in VB, but when I try to unload the form, it forces me to close VB and says:

'VB has caused an error in SWFlash.OCX'

I have managed to put the code I need on a command button:
The command buttons Cancel property is set to true!

Private Sub cancel_Click()
'Since I am using a database, I set the connections to nothing, incase I want to reopen this form later
Set rsControls = Nothing
Set cnControls = Nothing

'Show the next form I want to view
menu_form.Show

'Unloads the last form I was on
Unload admin_form
End Sub

The above code works fine on a command button, but not on FSCommand for my flash buttons! This is the first code that I cant get to work, from clicking on the flash!!! Must have something to do with either the cancel property, as there isnt one for flash components, or unloading!!!

Any help, will be appreciated, Thanks, Matt

it's been along time since i've used flash in vb but could you put the component on a button?
like as a picture on the button. the user will think it is just a flash image but the code behind it will be on the button.

this probably won't work or you would have done it but that's my first thought.

i don't have flash on this machine so i can't test it for ya

I finally solved it,

I dont why it doesnt work on FSCommand, but if you put the code under Flash_Button_GotFocus() it allows you to close the form.

Any one know why, FSCommand didnt work for the unload??

couldn't tell ya
i never had any luck using FScommand.
i allways found a way to get what i wanted done using javascript or something else.
