C++/VB - VB6 and Flash ExternalInterface?

Does anyone have an example of VB6 communicating with Flash 8+ through the
ExternalInterface?  I need to send the Flash component information and it
needs to call functions in VB.  I have embedded the Flash component in a form
and am able to acknowledge a Flash event with private sub
StreamViewer_FlashCall(ByVal request as String) but I do not know how to
return a value to that call.  I also do not know how to call a function
within the Flash (AS3) component from VB and pass parameters.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Steve

Ok, found the solution myself...

StreamViewer.FlashVars = did not work so I had to use:

StreamViewer.Movie = "file://" & strExe & "\streamViewer.swf?appUrl=" &
rtmpPath & "&streamId=" & rtmpSession


Private Sub StreamViewer_FlashCall(ByVal request As String)
Debug.Print request '<invoke name="isReady"
returntype="xml"><arguments></arguments></invoke>
Dim reqXml As New DOMDocument
Dim sAry() As String

reqXml.loadXML request

Dim elem As IXMLDOMElement
Set elem = reqXml.selectSingleNode("invoke")

Dim funcName As String
funcName = elem.getAttribute("name")

Dim ret As String
Select Case funcName
Case "isReady"
Call StreamViewer.SetReturnValue("<true/>")

End Select

End Sub

Nothing C++ / VB Sub Include(ByVal includefile) Dim fso, s, f Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If fso not also 'Set fso = Nothing'? VBScript Discussions Routine (1) Bytes (1) Bit (1) VBA (1) VB (1) CreateObject (1) Application (1) FileExists (1) JJ presented the following explanation : Well, if this should get explicitly destroyed. 2. If I implicitly create an object, I leave it to VB to implicitly destroy when it runs out of scope. (ie: Dim oColl As New Collection use explecit. Note that anything left to be done implicitly ALWAYS requires extra processing by VB / A / Script, adding to runtime overhead. There is more disadvantages to implicitly creating objects and http: / / www.eternal-september.org ClassicVB Users Regroup! comp.lang.basic.visual.misc microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion That's it???

Definitely a Newbie- -Need an example C++ / VB I am told VBS comes with MS OSes, and that if I had an example can carry about 240, 000 pounds. . . John There are exactly four ways to launch a VB Script: a) Right-click the shortcut. This is common for all shortcuts, not just VB Script. b) Typing the script name at the command prompt (which is the same as between c) and d) which you will come to appreciate as you dig deeper into VB Scripting. What is strange about downloading the tutor / intro file? Which file is it, in way is Visual Basic. By almost luck, when a friend moved, he gave me two VB 5 books, and the compiler (Interpreter?) Why VB. I am using a scientific app that allows one to extend facilities of the app other program the app works with. No need to even run the app. Just use VB. Still curious about VBS. My guess is that it is nowhere as powerful as using VB, but is not really used for of with html. - - Wayne Watson (Watson Adventures, Prop., Nevada
