Hi

Does anyone konw of a way in which I can embed a flash projector (exe file) inot my VB form.

I want to doe this because I am battling to create a password login in FLASH. If I can log the user in with vb and then display the flash movie on the next form, it would be great

flash activx control get installed with flash application. you can use it.
 
You've probably seen this plug-in in Web pages, some good and some bad. But did you know that you can also use the Flash plug-in in Visual Basic? While it may seem to have limited use, many developers have begun to use the plug-in to display graphical GUI buttons, as well as animated splash screens. To take advantage of the Shockwave Flash OCX (also known as Flash Player) in Visual Basic, you must have it installed on your machine. If you don't already have it, visit and select the Flash Player | Download Flash Player menu option, which leads you to a simple, three-step download process.

The Shockwave Flash component uses Flash Player Movies, which use the extension .smf. The Flash software also creates FLA-formatted files, but you can't use these with the Flash component. Once you create a movie,
drop a Flash component onto a form, and enter the movie's path and filename into the Movie property on the property sheet. When you launch the program and form, Flash plays the animation.
