Flash and VB 1

[Ajb2528]

I am new to Flash but I have a very good knowledge of VB. I am currently writing a VB app that incorporates a simple Flash movie. This works fine but I want the code to "pause" i.e. wait until the Flash movie completes. Is there a way within Flash (actionscript?) that will pass a value back to VB to indicate that the movie has completed?

Regards,

Alan

There is an example out there which shows how vb can interact with the ShockwaveFlash control.

Patrick,

Thanks for the reply bit I have seen that article but it does not explain what I really need...ie an event triggered when the movie has completed playing...

What about:

While Me.ShockwaveFlash1.IsPlaying
'Sit and wait
Wend
