Using Flashplayercontrol in ASP.net

[chris22]

Has anyone had any success in using the Flashplayercontrol from within an ASP.Net application?

We're just getting back a black image (allthough it says "DEMO", so we know something is correct .

We haven't tested FPC with ASP.Net.
Could you please send me your project to support (at) flashplayercontrol.com?

It's unfortunately impossible for us to share this code, but from my experiences with using Flash.ocx this shouldn't be a problem. The only thing we need is access to the Flash Player's handle so that we can send it a WM_PAINT message.

Currently there is no this handle because Flash is in the transparent mode. I tested FPC with ASP.Net and all works fine. Piece of my code:

Code: Select all

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim Form As New System.Windows.Forms.Form
        Dim FPC As New FlashPlayerControlLibrary.FlashPlayerControl

        Form.SuspendLayout()

        FPC.Left = 0
        FPC.Top = 0
        FPC.Width = 200
        FPC.Height = 200
        FPC.Visible = True

        Form.Controls.Add(FPC)

        Form.ResumeLayout()

        FPC.FlashProperty_Movie = "C:\Misc\53\movie.swf"
        FPC.FlashMethod_Play()

        FPC.FlashProperty_FrameNum = 20

        Dim FrameBitmapWithAlpha As Bitmap
        FrameBitmapWithAlpha = FPC.FrameBitmap

        FrameBitmapWithAlpha.Save("C:\Misc\53\2.bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp)

    End Sub

After sending a few emails back and forth (and recieving great and instant support, thanks!) I finally found out that to make sure the movie loaded correctly, we had to load the movie using PutMovieFromStream instead of setting the FlashProperty_Movie.
