Flash swf in dialog

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hi, I have completely racked my brain over this and cannot find a "Working" answer. I would like to display a flash movie (.swf) in a dialog in a win32 program I have made. I have found out that I need to host a web brower control. and I have searched for tutorials and/or code to learn how to do this. And I have come up with only huge examples meant for visual C which I do not work with Dev and I have know idea how to convert because the tutorials are for VC.

So if anyone could pls show an example or a "dev" tutorial on this matter, I would be extremely humble! Thanks!

You should add "-lole32 -luuid" to your linker options.

-"l" means -"small L"

libole32.a is the library where the linker will find OleInitialize, etc and libuui.a contains the IID_IOleObject, etc.

that is one of about 100 places I have looked at with code that refuses to compile in Dev C. If you can get it to compile, pls share how. Thanks for the help!

What's your compile log look like after trying to compile the above code?

Ok here I have compiled the code and fixed the obvious void main() problem to: int main(). This gave me even more errors. Before fix only 12 after 25. Here is the full compile log:
