Alaster Leong, Atc.Com Pte Ltd
Do you know you can create a flash movie and can use it as a VFP control object ? Example, you can create a button or menu from flash with rollover effect and use them in VFP. With flash control, there will be no more timer control and unstable rollover effect.

General information
Description
I've included a sample to show you how stable and nice effect using Flash movie as control in VFP. This is my third contribution to UT. I want to share this wonderful finding to all of you. This finding originate from Vincent D. Brown. I've read his article in VFUG and have to thank him for his great finding. Do you know you can use Flash movie in your VFP application ? For those of you knows how to use Flash, all you have to do is to create the movie, use the Action and select FSCommand to return an argument to VFP. Once you have created the movie, publish it as Flash (.swf). Of course you need the swflash.ocx to interface with VFP. If those of you are using IE5, and if you come across any Flash movie in the internet, the swflash.ocx will be installed into your system. You can perform a find to locate the swflash.ocx (it might not be in the winsys directory). I've included a sample program to show you how nice using Flash in your app. The zip file contain the following files : 1. flash.exe (the compile exe for the sample, run to see for yourself) 2. flash.scx (the sample form) 3. flash_cnt.vcx, flashbutt.vcx and main_m.vcx (they are my own class library) 4. all .swf files (they are the published movie files used for this sample) 5. all .fla files (they are the Flash source files, you can open them with Flash 4/5) Before you run the sample EXE, make sure you have swflash.ocx registered in your system. You can e-mail to me if you have any questions. Have fun and enjoy using Flash in your app. E-mail : wfleong@hotmail.com Name : Alaster Leong

This version runs in both VFP5 & VFP6. I haven't used any VCX in this sample, just to eliminate compatibility problem between version. But you must put all the SWF files into the same directory as the form or exe.
