Assigning a Macro to a Shockwave File
If you mean an Excel macro, these are stored in workbooks and would have no
connection to a file from an external application. You might be able to write a vb script that starts shockwave and excel with the open event triggering the macro. If Shockwave has its own macro language that can perform automation, then perhaps it could have an auto_open macro that would start excel and run a macro. I don't know anything about the capabilities of shockwave, but from an Excel perspective, I don't see what you specifically ask as being supported. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Chris Hankin" wrote in message ...

Assigning a Macro to a Shockwave File
Thanks Tom for your response.
I have worked a way of embedding a shockwave file into an Excel worksheet. When the workbook is saved and re-opened, the shockwave file opens up automatically. What I used to do is embed various pictures into an Excel worksheet and assign macros to them. So when a user clicked on the picture, it would activate the assigned macro. So now I want to do a similar thing with a shockwave file instead of a picture. So when a user clicks on the shockwave file, it activates an assigned macro. I do not know how to assign a macro to a shockwave file. There are many software programs out there that create shockwave files - and I do not understand the programming language of shockwave. It may not even be possible. I hope this clarifies this matter. Kind regards, Chris. *** Sent via Devdex http://www.devdex.com *** Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it! |
