Flash - How Do I Play A Movie Using The Flash Shockwave Control?
I loaded the control on the form but how do I put in the flash file? Does the file name and path go into the Movie Property? How do I get it to load a new page when the movie is done playing?

Can I add Flash buttons? If so how would I go about doing this? Can I have just one flash movie with say 3 buttons that each do something different or do I need to have 3 flash movies with each button on it's owen? If 3 in one would I need to but different code into flash or could I code different events in VB?

Shockwave And Flash
hi,

I've inserted the components of shockwave flash and shockwavectrl, and i've read some of the posts about shockwave and flash and they all go on about .swf files. This is my code

VB Code:
Private Sub Form_Load() With Form1 .ShockwaveFlash1.Movie = App.Path & "Home.swf" .ShockwaveFlash1.Play End WithEnd Sub

Nothing is appearing when this code is run so i can only assume that there is no .swf file there.

I have published the flash file so how do you get the .swf file?

Thank you

ShockWave Flash OCX
I need to know about all properties of Shockwave Flash OCX, I am trying to use it in my vb6 application.

Shockwave Flash
Hello,

I have a problem after adding a flash movie into the Shockwave Flash activeX. There is a large piece of object frame surrounding my movie frame which is causing a problem. To compromise the desired size of my movie frame, I have to drag the flash object larger such that it is now blocking my other text labels on the form. I try to "Send to Back" by right clicking the mouse on the object but doesn't work. Is there any way to reduce the outer unwanted frame or at least make it sit right behind to prevent blocking? Appreciate for any valuable advice, thanks.:confused

Embed Shockwave Flash Into VB6 Form
Hi guys,

I am looking to embed a shockwave flash movie into a form. Which do I use?
Shockwave ActiveX Control or Shockwave Flash? Capture attached.

Shockwave Flash Control In Windows 98 And NT
I put a flash movie in a visual basic form.
The only piece of code i use is

Private Sub Form_Load()
mov.Movie = App.Path & "lines.swf"
End Sub

the frames per second rate of the flash movie is 100 fps.

in windows NT the flash movie plays (through the vb application) as through the standalone flash player.
in windows 98 (and using the exact same vb project) the flash movie frames per second rate drops by at least 50%.

and something weird also happens: in windows 98, when the user moves the mouse, the frames per second rate starts
increasing ! The more the user moves the mouse the faster the flash movie plays !

why is this happening?
any ideas would be much appreciated

PowerPoint Automation
I have a large amount of tabular data which I wish to export to PowerPoint.
In Word, as the table gets bigger, it pushes newer rows onto the next page,
whereas in PowerPoint the entire table is viewed on a single slide whether it fits or not.
Is it possible
1. to split the table if it is possible to somehow know the slide size?
2. reduce font size when the table is created?
3. Is it possible to tile objects in PowerPoint?

...via macros.
If anyone has VB code related to these queries do help me out.
Thanks

PowerPoint Automation From VB
Hi everyone,
I wrote this application/utility in vb 6.0 which distills Power Point
Applications into PDF's. My problem is that when I finish distilling
the file and try to close power point I get the following message.

"PowerPoint is currently printing. Quitting will cancel all pending
print jobs. Do you want to quit anyway?"

Now I know that the file has already been converted to a ".ps" and
distilled into a ".pdf " because it doesn't matter which option I
choose (Yes or Cancel) my application just moves onto the next file
because it has successfully distilled the current file. Is there a
way to quit PowerPoint without any prompts or alerts like we do for
Excel.

This is the code I'm using:

Private Function fDistillPPT(sPath As String, sFile As String) As
Boolean
Dim oPPT As Object
Dim oTest As New PowerPoint.Application

Set oPPT = CreateObject("PowerPoint.Application")

With oPPT
.Visible = 1
.Presentations.Open FileName:=sPath

.ActivePresentation.PrintOut , , sTargetPath & Replace(sFile,".ppt", ".ps")
Sleep (2000)
.Presentations.Item(1).Windows(1).Activate
.Presentations.Item(1).Windows(1).Close
.Presentations.Application.Activate

.Presentations.Application.Quit
End With

Call DistillAFile( _
sTargetPath & Replace(sFile, ".ppt", ".ps"), _
sTargetPath & Replace(sFile, ".ppt", ".pdf"), _
"Print")

Kill sTargetPath & Replace(sFile, ".ppt", ".ps")
If Len(Dir(sTargetPath & Replace(sFile, ".ppt", ".log"))) <> 0 Then
Kill sTargetPath & Replace(sFile, ".ppt", ".log")
End If
Sleep (2000)
Set oPPT = Nothing
fDistillPPT = True
Exit Function
fDistillPPTErr:
Exit Function
End Function

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Powerpoint Automation
Hi All
I was trying to print the powerpoint files through my program.
the program opens the file, sets the print options, prints it and closes it..
the program has no error, but the line to close the file get executed while the file is printing. How can I wait all the slides in the file get printed and then quit MS PowerPoint?

It there any way that not to show the MS PowerPoint Window? I tried
[COLOR = red]
Dim ppt As Object
Dim p As Presentation

set ppt = CreateObject("Powerpoint.application")
ppt.Visible = False
set p = ppt.Presentations.Open(fileName)

[/COLOR]

But the above code doesn't work.. it has run time error..
if I take the line ppt.visible out, I can't open the file/ presentation.

Please tell me how I can set the code so the MS PPT window won't show and don't quit untill all the slides in the presentation get printed.

thank you
