FlashPlayerControl won't work with IE7
Posted: Mon Nov 20, 2006 2:01 pm
We had some machines not playing SWFs. The common denominator was IE7. Now we can reproduce it with the samples as described below. Is anyone else having problems?
I made a simple change to the directX sample to get the swf from a url instead of embedded in the exe, and it won't play on a machine with IE7 installed.
Here's what I changed:
// Load movie from resource
// comment out this line
// FPCPutMovieFromResource g_hwndFlashPlayerControl, NULL, _T("SWF1"), _T("SWF"));
//add these line
SFPCPutMovie FPCPutMovie;
FPCPutMovie.lpszBuffer = "http://70.85.186.86/albino_flash001/TheUltimateShowdown(www.albinoblacksheep.com).swf" ;
::SendMessage(g_hwndFlashPlayerControl, FPCM_PUT_MOVIE, 0, (LPARAM)&FPCPutMovie);
if ( FAILED( FPCPutMovie.hr ) )
{
MessageBox( NULL, "Put failed", "Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONSTOP);
return FALSE;
}
