Guest Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 so this is my first tut for the community, and as such i will try and keep it simple and easy to understand, and follow directions. if any errors are found, please post them here, if you have suggestions/code changes please also post them here. i will update this first post as necissary. this was made with a loop because i want it to play indefinately untill you click the button to move on. im sure its a easy change, but you can change it how you want.first thing first. if you have the newest flash you have to downgrade to flash10e.ocx anything newer than this will cause saving errors… ive already renamed the file you need for it to work correctly. it may give a unsafe reading on win7 but its straight from adobe, if you dont want mine follow the instructions and go download it from them again.to downgrade simply download the file ive provided, and replace your old one with it before starting the rest of the tut. be sure to rename your old one to flash10treal.ocx**YOU MUST DO THE ABOVE FIRST OR YOU WILL GET SAVE ERRORS**this is all in the **client**for the sake of simplicity i named my flash.swf file intro.swf to change it simply change out "intro" with your file name anywere i used it, in forms and code. also to adjust the loop just set the numbers to what you want. here i set it to play once.search **frmmenu** form load() for```Dim tmpTxt As String, tmpArray() As String, i As Long```just below this add```Dim num as Byte```search **frmmenu** for```Me.Caption = Options.Game_Name```just below it add this```Do While num <= 1 intro.Movie = App.Path & "\data files\flash\intro.swf" intro.Visible = True 'The name and location of our .swf file intro.Left = 0 'The rest of these commands are just to dynamically size your intro.top = 0 intro.Play 'This starts your movie! num = num + 1 Loop```**next**1.in your data files folder make a folder called flash.2.put your flash intro.swf file in that folder.**Form work**1.goto project->components->shockwave flash (or whatever flash you are running)2.make a new flash window in the frmmain, **name it intro**3.make a command button in the new flash, **name it command1**4.double click the new command button add this code.```intro.Visible = FalseCommand1.Visible = False``` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryochi Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 so the intro is set to play every time you open the client or does it play only once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Tyllo Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I'll have to try this…next week or so...sadly. It looks so easy now, although I'm sure I'll run into trouble and ask you guys. Oh, one other thing, I don't have Flash already, do I just have to download that and it'll work, or no?PS: Bookmarking :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzyone9584 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Ypu never check to see if its done and to re-hide the flash player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 well in mine i make them click a button in the tut, so on the last page of your flash it can sit there till player is ready, or loop. same code could be used for a click on flash or something of the like. its all personal preference.

Matt Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Couldn't you just use the windows media player object? It seems to me it would be a whole lot simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiseRock Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I got a little fix you could doSay they dont have a flash filehere you can just skip the intro if you dont have it>! In frmMenu add>! ```Dim FlashFile as String>! flashfile = App.Path & "\data files\flash\intro.swf"```>! then>! then put this>! ```If Not FileExist(flashfile, True) Then>! intro.Visible = False>! Command1.Visible = False>! intro.Stop>! End If```under>! ```Do While num <= 1>! intro.Movie = flashfile>! intro.Visible = True>! 'The name and location of our .swf file>! intro.Left = 0 'The rest of these commands are just to dynamically size your>! intro.top = 0>! intro.Play 'This starts your movie!>! num = num + 1>! Loop``` by doing this you can skip your intro if you dont have a flash file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
