Help with a custom event

[brad1383]

I'm trying to do 2things

1\. To make a custom event that displays a video client side when you activate it. I've been playing around with avi's in picture boxes or just having an avi play in its own frm. I still don't know how to get the custom event, to make it visible.

2\. After converting the players sprite with an event (easy), I'm trying (with a custom event) to change the player back to their previous sprite.

SO I had this idea where is it was to paper doll a large scuba suit on them hiding their old sprite (kind of like a giant temporary paperdoll) and then deleting it after you activate the custom event.

or just changing their sprite completely while saving their previous sprite in the account file.

Any ideas?

(using Eclipse advanced if that even makes a difference)

For 1 look how to play flash files and do it like this ;-)

And 2 add the tranfromation tutorial with the change back thing then your old Sprite will be saved if you transform you ;-)

I've tried adding the flash.ocx to my project with no avail (this keeps happening [http://puu.sh/ZfTe](http://puu.sh/ZfTe) )

I'm actually a flash animator which is what I make the avi's with. (the swf's don't play nice with my editing studio I use)

Ermm, If this can help:

To show a frame you need to set the frame visibility or "visible" to false. Then, You can use frame.visible = true Or if you want to hide it just set it to "false". I hope this might help.

EDIT: Also Shockwave Flash works fine with me. Might be your VB, You might need to re-install some stuffs or something, But don't ask me! I don't know what you needed to re-install I'm just assuming here.

It was already set to false  I'm just trying to get the custom event to call it properly, to make it visible then play. In the event I'll have the wait time set to the same as the video I'm making, so it plays fully.

Ok so I got the second thing working thanks to Richy because he's awesome possum. So now I'm trying to add the Flash.ocx to my project or just get my picture box to display it using MMcontrol.

[brad1383]
