Flash not displaying, but no errors

[Champak]

Im running the following test example and the flash is not displaying. But I'm not getting an error either. I can play flash fine on the internet. Any idea?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Global $oRP = ObjCreate("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.11")
GUICreate ("Flash", 820, 600, -1, -1)
$GUIActiveX    = GUICtrlCreateObj( $oRP, 10, 10 , 800 , 580)

;MsgBox(0,0,@ScriptDir)
With $oRP
    .bgcolor = "#000000"
    .Movie = @WindowsDir & '\logo2.swf';
    .ScaleMode = 2
    .Loop = True
    .wmode = "Opaque"
    .FlashVars = ""
     .Playing = True
EndWith

GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

$oRP = 0
GUIDelete ()
Exit

I already tried changing ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.11 to ShockwaveFlash.

I have the shockwave registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftware

Yes the flash is in the proper directory, and I've tried other flash files.

Though I don't know why it's not working for you, but your code IS working for me, just with a different flash value.

I even downloaded the 'kingdom-rush-12141.swf' to my machine to test it locally. This also worked.

Global $sURL = "http://cache.armorgames.com/files/games/kingdom-rush-12141.swf"
Global $sLocalURL = @ScriptDir & "\flash_file.swf"

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Global $oRP = ObjCreate("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.11")
GUICreate ("Flash", 820, 600, -1, -1)
$GUIActiveX    = GUICtrlCreateObj( $oRP, 10, 10 , 800 , 580)

;MsgBox(0,0,@ScriptDir)
With $oRP
    .bgcolor = "#000000"
    .Movie = $sURL
    .ScaleMode = 2
    .Loop = True
    .wmode = "Opaque"
    .FlashVars = ""
    .Playing = True
EndWith

GUISetState ()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
WEnd

$oRP = 0
GUIDelete ()
Exit

That works for me as well, however, once I put it as a local file, it wont display. Is it working for you as a local file, or just through the URL?

I saved 'kingdom-rush-12141.swf' to my @ScriptDir as 'flash_file.swf', and it worked as well.

I was wrong it was in the wrong directory. My usb and main drive have the same file structure and name. The script was on the USB and the flash was on the main. Thanks.

One more thing, the flash doesn't start automatically. I assume "playing = true" would make it start, it seems not so. How do I make it automatically start?

[AlmarM]

I'm not sure.

Try autoplay = 1 or autostart = 1.

Yeah, I already tried this, no luck.

I looked up the attributes and it states "play = true" should accomplish this, but it causes an error in the script. Oddly, I don't see "playing = true" in the list of attributes.

I took out "playing = true" and it starts automatically now. Thanks.
