Hi,

I'm supposing you installed Flash correctly.
I can find it in COM-GAC, both Shockwave ActiveX Control and Shockwave Flash which are "installed" in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Adobe and c:\Windows\Macromed\Flash Directory.
Maybe it wasn't registered correctly, please try to register it again with REGSVR32.
By the way, if you dont'see a .NET .dll in your GAC (there are some from Dreamweaver MX for ASP.net), please use
gacutil /i yourdll.dll

Hope that works.

Best Regards

what should I stall, I have installed adobe shock wave player, but still no Shockwave Flash object. only Shockwave ActiveX Control.

Does a file like Flash32_11_3_300_265.ocx exists in your SysWOW64 Directory? The Filename could be similar, depends on your installed Flash Player Version. SysWow64 exists if you're using 64-Bit win, otherwise it's in system32 directory. Regards

no SysWOW64 directory on my PC. (32bit sys)
I found only c:\windows\system\Flash9.ocx

Seraph_summer 14-Jul-12 11:39am

by the way, I have installed Flash player 11

Seraph_summer 14-Jul-12 11:44am

can you please tell me exactly what should I install in order to have Shockwave Flash Object

El_Codero 14-Jul-12 11:49am

currently starting a 32bit win in my vm...

Seraph_summer 14-Jul-12 11:55am

I checked more, found that

C:\Windows\System32\Adobe\Director, there is SwDir_1165635.dll, which is corresponding to Shockwave ActiveX Control. then no one with "Flash". I really do not have idea.

insteresting thing: I found in my VS "COM component": there are two exactly same Shockwave ActiveX Control, but no Shockwave Flash object.

Seraph_summer 14-Jul-12 12:05pm

I found now
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash NPSWF32_11_3_300_265.dll

El_Codero 14-Jul-12 12:18pm

hi, to bother you again. I have discussed with you a lot on how to use the shockwave flash object in c#. before, it works in my vista ststem.
now I changed it to win7 system and I have updated it but the flash player does not show the effect. nothing error displays and I have also axshowflashobjects are also included, newest flash player has been installed for IE and also other explorers. do you have some idea why it does work for me? thanks!!
