Invalid Window Class Name

[dcheeseman]

I am attempting to add the FlashPlayerControl to a test application. I can add the component to my toolbox but when I try to add it to the application I get an error "Invalid Window Class Name". I tried the demo application (Sample3_StandAlonePlayer) and it works fine. Is there something I am missing here. The help section for the .Net Edition seems to be down currently.

Thank you for your question.

Install Macromedia Flash Player: http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer

Flash Player is installed. I am currently using the Flash Player ActiveX and looking to replace it with the FlashPlayerControl. Flash files are playing in the ActiveX application without issue.

FlashPlayerControl doesn't replace Flash ActiveX, FlashPlayerControl extends Flash ActiveX.

Do you get the issue when you open example projects, when you open forms with the Visual Studio Designer?

[dcheeseman]

The example program Sample3_StandalonePlayer compiles and runs fine. If I try to view Form1 in the View Designer I get the same error message and the form has the exception stack in it (ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Invalid Window Class Name...).

Please try to launch Demo_Applications\Sample1_SWF_And_FLV_Player.exe. Does it work properly?

Thank you.

The Sample1 does not run from the demo application folder. I ran the code in visual studio and received the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: Invalid window class name.

And the program breaks at Me.flashplayercontrol1.flashproperty_alignmode = 0

I used regsvr32 on the flash.ocx and I can now run the sample aplpications correctly.

I am trying to create a test application to do some evaluations. When I try to run the application I get the following error:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeLoadException' occurred in FlashPlayerControl.exe

Additional information: Could not load type FlashPlayerControlLibrary.FlashPlayerControl from assembly FlashPlayerControl, Version=1.0.2197.18847, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null.

I tried registering the FlashPlayerControl.dll unsuccessfully.

Very good.

Do you have the same problem with the projects in examples ( \Samples\VB.Net\ )?

[dcheeseman]

I don't have any problems running the samples in the samples/vh.net folder or the demo folder with the executables.

I can help you, but I need to see your code. You can post it via e-mail to support (at) flashplayercontrol.com

Problem solved. The test application I created was called "FlashPlayerControl". Changed the name and now everything is just peachy. Thanks for the help!
