F-IN-BOX

F-IN-Box is a .NET component that enhances Macromedia / Adobe FlashPlayer ActiveX features. It does not use its own engine to displaymovies, but instead provides a wrapper around official swflash.ocx/flash.ocx code. It is thus possible to avoid certain Macromedia /Adobe Flash Player ActiveX limitations. Features at a glance: 1. Loads Flash movies directly from memory 2.Creates Flash-enabled applications which are ready to work even if theFlash Player ActiveX is not installed! 3. Transparency is fullysupported! 4. Ability to play Flash Video (FLV) from stream. 5. Enable/disable flash sounds. 6. Get a snap image of the current flash movieframe. 7. Creates code which is compatible with any version of Flash(3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). 8. Flash External API. Using F-IN-BOX, you can load any Flash movie directly from memory. Notemporary files! Load any movie on-the-fly from any supported source.For example, you can put one or more Flash movies in the resourcesection of your application and then load it from the .EXE! Feel theportability and power of F-IN-BOX! By Default, the control will usethe swflash.ocx/flash.ocx file which is already installed on thesystem. The control can alternatively use any swflash.ocx/flash.ocxfile you provide using any supported source. Thanks to this method,your application will work even if the Flash Player ActiveX does notexist on the target system. With F-IN-BOX, hassling with Flash Player ActiveX installation issuesis a thing of the past! Demos, complete with source code, areavailable now! One of the problems with Flash programming is that youhave to control what version of Flash you are using. For example, theproperty "Stacking" exists only in Flash 5 but doesn`t exist in laterrevisions. F-IN-BOX automatically detects which Flash version is inuse and prevents a failure if access to nonexistent properties ormethods is attempted.
