F-IN-BOX, Delphi Edition 3.4

TFlashPlayerControl is a Delphi / Builder / VCL component that extends Macromedia Flash Player ActiveX capabilities. It doesn't use its own rendering engine; instead, it wraps the official swflash.ocx/flash.ocx code so you can bypass several limitations of the standard control. Features at a glance: 1. Load Flash movies from any TStream descendant (TResourceStream, TMemoryStream, etc.) 2. Create Flash-enabled applications that run even when Flash Player ActiveX isn't installed 3. Full support for Flash transparency 4. Play Flash Video (FLV) directly from a stream 5. Enable or disable Flash sounds 6. Capture a snapshot of the current Flash movie frame 7. Write code that's 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 stream object. No temporary files! Load any movie on the fly from any supported source. For example, embed one or more Flash movies in your application resources and then load them from the EXE. That's the portability and power of TFlashPlayerControl! By default, the component will use the swflash.ocx/flash.ocx that's already installed on the system. The component can alternatively use any swflash.ocx/flash.ocx that you provide using any supported source. With this approach, your application will run even if Flash Player ActiveX doesn't exist on the target system. With TFlashPlayerControl, dealing with Flash Player ActiveX installation issues is a thing of the past! Demos, complete with source code, are provided! One of the problems with Flash programming is that you have to account for the exact Flash version in use. For example, the property "Stacking" exists only in Flash 5 and not in later revisions. TFlashPlayerControl automatically detects the active Flash version and prevents failures if access to nonexistent properties or methods is attempted.Download F-IN-BOX, Delphi Edition
