I am currently working on a Visual Basic program that will be licensed (sold) to end-users and would like to add a really cool splash screen at both the beginning and ending of the VB program.

Can (or should) I,

a)use the Macromedia ActiveX component inside my VB program and if so, has anyone done this before? Any technical or legal issues I should know about?

b)create a Flash projector EXE for my intro and another for my exit and then call my VB program from the intro Flash and call my exit Flash from my VB program

c) some other (better) way?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!
