Excel to Play Flash Animation or GIF in User Form???
 

I am just woundering if its possiable to have a flash animation video
play in a VB Form in Excel. I like to create a user form that appears
when someone opens my program with usually some sort of graphic work
(makes my programs look more professional). I have been working on a
particular project for awhile now and would like to WOW the end-user
when they use my program by having a flash video play when the program
(workbook) starts up...anyone know how to get a flash video to play in
a VB User form??? If not flash then is it possiable to do this with a
GIF image? Much appreciated!!!

Alternatively, you could experiment with adding a ShockwaveFlash
object to your form. No idea how you would make this work as I've
never tried it, but since it works OK with IE, I don't see why you
couldn't make it work on an MSForms form.

Just taken a look at this out of interest.

Dragged a ShockwaveFlash object onto my form, set the movie property of the
object to the full path to my .swf file, ran the form. Worked perfectly.

You can show an animated GIF on a form by using the WebBrowser control
that's installed with IE. Just use the Navigate2 method of the control to
open the GIF file.

your form. No idea how you would make this work as I've never tried it, but
since it works OK with IE, I don't see why you couldn't make it work on an
