SWF Resource in Delphi DLL

[alphaville]

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure whether this is the right forum for this topic. I just downloaded the trial version of TFlashPlayerControl and was looking at the samples. I was wodering whether it is possible for a snippet in delphi to load swf files from a resource in dll.

My apologies if it is in the samples but I did not see it.

Best Regards

Thank you for your question.

Yes, you can load swf from the resource that resides in a dll. Just get stream:

Code: Select all

HandleOfYourDLL := GetModuleHandle('YourDLL.dll'); // or use LoadLibrary
ResourceStream := TResourceStream.Create(HandleOfYourDLL, 'FLVPlayer', 'SWF');
FlashPlayerControl1.LoadMovieFromStream(0, ResourceStream);

The GetModuleHandle is giving me the error EResNotFound however it works fine with LoadLibrary.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you are right, you should use LoadLibrary. Don't forget to call FreeLibrary after loading a movie.
