Re: FN-FORUM: flash and visual basic error

date posted 8th January 2004 23:53

you've given me the solution to the VB crash, much appreciated. for
some reason bringing in the OCA in one project stops the OCX crashing VB
in all projects... no idea why, but i've long since learned not to
question M$ tech when it suddenly plays nice ;)

next question is.... can i embed it within the app rather than
reference it externally? just like with images, i'd like the flash
movie to be embedded with the actual application rather than external to it.
