Hi All

Has anybody else experienced problems when using flash ocx controls in your
VB6 app since the latest Adobe flash player update came out??

I **think** I was on v. 10e and everything was rosey, a little message
appeared on PC startup saying do you want to update your flash player,
clicked yes and then all my bloody vb6/flash apps stopped working!!!

You can't save any changes to the code when a form has the flash ocx
component in the form. It keeps crashing with a System Error.

I'd kept the flash standalone installer for v10e, but couldn't even
reinstall it after uninstalling the troublesome one, as Adobe had put a
'catch' reg entry in to stop me reinstalling old versions!!!

Thankfully managed to find an uninstaller to get rid of this key and
re-apply my old flash version, but what's the craic??

Are Adobe trying to stop vb6 users from using the component in our apps??

I don't know much about using flash in VB, but you may want to check this
alternative flash player/plugin, which is open source, and runs on Windows.
I haven't tried it myself:

features of the new version 8,9 and 10 files."
