I've spent a whole night searching the AHK Script & Functions Forum to find a post on "Embedding A Flash Animation In AHK GUI". But no one seemed interested & my search ended in vain. I've even posted a thread at the Ask For Help forum as a last resort & waited for 2 long days!. But no luck was there also :( . Then i have started experimenting on IE controls in AHK GUI windows & figured it out that a Flash Movie can be loaded into the IE control created inside an AHK window.

Imagine A Cool Custom Intro Before Starting Your Application Created Using AHK!!

Well, i've imagined it earlier :oops: & i couldn't get it out of my mind.

That resulted in developing the following script.

Download Example

Limitations
1) Flash Player Must Be Installed In The Host Computer
2) Absolutely No Response From Movie Can Be Registered By AHK !
3) Requires A Child-Window To Load The Movie
4) No Way To Detect Whether The Movie Is Playing Or Not

Post Any Other Problem That I'm Unaware Of :)


Don't Ask About My GUI Design Ok? I'm Very Weak In GUI Design :( !
Please Let Me Know If There Are Further Modifications Possible.

I Don't Know Of Any Other Way To Embed Flash Animations In A More Efficient Way. This Is Just A Possibility & There Could Be Many Ways. I Thought This Post May Kick Start All Those Bright Minds, Here In The AHK Forum :D

Comments/Suggestions Are Expected :!:


Thanks & Regards

Thanks! Glad you liked it :D

About the error message you got, since it occurred during program termination, it could be a bug in the OnExit subroutine. I'll try to give you a complete explanation.

This looks nice, thanks for sharing.

You should change your Exit routine, because it is launched twice, once when you goto and second time when ExitApp is launched.
Something like this, possibly that is why the error is coming up as well
Code:
Gui,-caption
Gui,Add,Picture,x0 y0,Line.jpg
Gui,Add,Picture,x0 y0,Line2.jpg
Gui,Add,Picture,x0 y497,Line.jpg
Gui,Add,Picture,x597 y0,Line2.jpg
Gui,Add,Picture,x5 y10,Header.jpg
Gui,add,picture,x560 y6 gGuiClose,close.jpg
Gui,Add,Text,x15 y350,Special Thanks Goes To daonlyfreez,SKAN,Titan And Chris`nThis Is Just A Possibility. I Don't Know Whether There Is Any Other Way To Do This.`nI Thought This Might Kick Start Some Of The Great And Bright Minds Out Here At The AHK Forum!`n`nCode By Aravind.V.S`nvsaravind007@gmail.com

You are right HotKeyIt ! I often do crazy things & guess what? This is also an example of my idiocy! Anyway, Thanks for your review & bug report along with the solution. You saved me a lot of time figuring out the problem !

OnExit Dual Execution Problem Fixed!

I've updated the code with a new exit routine. In the old code, the Onexit subroutine executed twice & created an error message in some computers because it tries to unload the already unloaded dll causing an error to pop up.

Please ReDownload SoggyDog

Thanks To HotKeyIt For His Solution!

It can be done simply:
Code:
COM_AtlAxWinInit()
pweb := COM_AtlAxCreateControl(LoaderHandle,Path)
; pswf := COM_AtlAxCreateControl(LoaderHandle,"ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash"), COM_Invoke(pswf,"Movie",Path)

Not to offend you Sean :lol: i of course :wink: know this but this example requires no library and i hadnt actually seen this threadbefore now
It of course has huge limitations over the use of the atl methods as it doesnt provide ready access to DOM but for simple display of content where DOM access isnt necesary nor resizes it has its advantages

as you know some folks still think length of code matters enuff to avoid COM :roll: :?

I posted it because I had found that cwebpage.dll was buggy. My first job in AHK after Chris accepted my request for the function pointer support in DllCall was to convert WebBrowser control in cwebpage.dll with that in AHK alone, so I had to paly with it for a while.
