How Can I Use Flash file (swf) in my vb2005 project as a splash creen

  Not specifically VB2005 but these two deal with how to play flash in VB.net

   My tought would be that you'd then want to break down the task into a few steps.

  1. Create splash screen for you application.   You can use the default template for the splash screen.

  2. Do the work to play the flash on this splash form. (The above links provide some details on how to play a flash file inside a VB Application)

  3. Adjust the splash screen time delay to the roughly the length of you Flash file.  You can override this by setting the MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime property in the My.Application namespace, which takes an integer to specify the number of milliseconds to display the splash screen. The code would look something like this:Me.MinimumSplashScreenDisplayTime = 5000

  4. Include the splash screen to you project by setting the splashscreen property in My Project.

   

  If you give that a try and let us know, what problems if any you run into.

  I have added item as splash screen into my project and aslo other time s normal form, I add the flash in these forms and I have assigned it as splash screen from (my project --> application)

  but in normal form there is no error

  You need to register the flash8.ocx control. Go to the Start menu, choose run, then enter the following...

  regsvr32 C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\flash8.ocx

  Then try again and all will be fine :)
