Question
how can i set the backGround of my form in vb.net with a ".swf"(shoackWave file depend to flash).
thanks a lot if you can send me the answer

Answer
Hi:

You have two options.

1. Add a reference to the COM Swf ActiveX control (SystemPath\Macromed\Flash\Flash.ocx)

Use the LoadMovie function to show your SWF
Sometimes you have to set the BaseURL property to the directory that contains the swf file. For help on the ActiveX control go to www.macromedia.com

2. Use the FlashMovie control from ComponentONE.

If you just want to show an animation the first option will be good enough, but remember to ship with your application the Flash Player redistributable

Hope this helps

Good Luck!
Carlos
