SWF Flash Movie

[Julierme]

Hello Everyone

I am new comer to this Forum and I need some help. Actually, I am having a problem with Visual Basic 2008. I started working on VB long time ago and I am trying to solve that:

I have a simple code to play a flash movie in VB 2008. The only problem I have is that after running the code the movie starts playing only after the Axshockwaveflash object is clicked. What can I add to my code to run the movie right after clicking the start button?

Thank you for your help and time.

Will something like this help in your Form_Load :

		Dim strFileName As String 'FileName
        
		'Filter For OFD
		ofdOpen.Filter = "FLA Files|*.fla|ShockWave Files|*.swf|All Files|*.*"
        
		strFileName = ofdOpen.FileName 'Browse PC For Suitable Files
        
		If ofdOpen.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then 'If Valid File Selected
            
			FlashMedia.LoadMovie(0, strFileName) 'Load
            FlashMedia.Play() 'Play

            PlayToolStripMenuItem.Text = "Pause" 'Change 'Play' To 'Pause'

        End If

Sometimes, you have to load the movie first, before playing it, as shown with the two bolded lines
