TFlashPlayerControl is a Delphi / Builder / VCL component to enhanceMacromedia Flash Player ActiveX features. It does not use its ownengine to display movies but instead provides a wrapper aroundofficial swflash.ocx/flash.ocx code. Thus, it is possible to avoidcertain Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX limitations. Features at a glance: 1. Load Flash movies from any TStream descendant(TResourceStream, TMemoryStream, etc.) 2. Create Flash-enabledapplications which are ready to work even when Flash Player ActiveX isnot installed! 3. Flash Transparency is fully supported 4. Ability toplay Flash Video (FLV) from stream 5. Enable/disable Flash sounds 6.Get a snap image of the current Flash movie frame 7. Write code whichis compatible with any version of Flash (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Using the component, you can load any Flash movie from any streamobject. No temporary files! Load any movie on-the-fly from anysupported source. For example, you can put one or more Flash movies inthe resource section of your application and then load it from theexe! That`s the portability and power of TFlashPlayerControl! By Default, the component will use the swflash.ocx/flash.ocx that`salready installed on the system. The component can alternatively useany swflash.ocx/flash.ocx that you provide it with using any supportedsource. Using this method, your application will work even if FlashPlayer ActiveX doesn`t exist on the target system. With TFlashPlayerControl, hassling with Flash Player ActiveXinstallation issues is a thing the past! Demos, complete with sourcecode, are provided! One of the problem with Flash programming is thatyou have to control what version of Flash you are using. For example,the property "Stacking" exists only in Flash 5 but doesn`t exist inlater revisions. TFlashPlayerControl automatically detects which Flashversion is being used and prevents failure if access to nonexistentproperties or methods is attempted.
