Run Flash in WPF

Question

I try to run a .swf file in my WPF application, I created an html page and in this I referenced my .swf file using the object tag and then loaded this html page in my Main Window

my xaml looks like

 <Window x:Class="sirajflash.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid> <WebBrowser Name="myBrowser"></WebBrowser> <!--<Frame Name="myframe"/>--> //tried with frame also but no luck </Grid> </Window> 

source assignment

  public partial class MainWindow : Window { public MainWindow() { InitializeComponent(); myBrowser.Source = new Uri(CreateAbsolutePathTo("playflash.htm"), UriKind.Absolute); } private static string CreateAbsolutePathTo(string mediaFile) { return System.IO.Path.Combine(new FileInfo(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location).DirectoryName, mediaFile); } } 

Problem:

when I launch the application, a warning appears that ActiveX content is trying to access, etc. etc., and when I allow it nothing appears in my main window, the warning continues to occur several times.

if I run a flash movie in a browser, it works just fine.

Sincerely.

• I have a flash based watch as a .swf file on my C: \ Test \ MyClock.swf

• I have an htm file in C: \ Test \ MyHtml.htm

    <embed src=C:\Test\MyClock.swf width=200 height=200 wmode=transparent type=application/x-shockwave-flash> </embed> 

• I have a web browser control as shown below ...

   <Window x:Class="MyFlashApp.MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525"> <Grid> <WebBrowser Source="C:\Test\MyHtml.htm"></WebBrowser> </Grid> </Window> 

• When I launch the application, I see that the web browser control gives a warning like "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this file from showing active content that could access your computer. Click here for options."

• I accept the warning by right-clicking and left-clicking “Allow Blocked Content”. A confirmation pop-up will appear, which I will say Yes .

• I see a watch based on Flash.

The WebBrowser control can support flash directly. If you don’t need to represent anything in HTML, you can directly specify the path to the flash file.

 myWebBrowser.Source = "C:\Test\MyClock.swf" 

However, you will still receive an IE warning.
