Visual Basic and Flash

Is there any way to have flash show up in visual basic, or have visual basic launch the flash game?

In another language I have inserted an ActiveX component (ShockwaveFlash) which plays the movie directly in the application in a specified area. Or if you have a web browser-component you can open an html-page with the flash or simply execute the swf-file from the app to let the flashplayer open it.

To launch from Visual Basic you can use commands:
Shell "file.exe"
Shell "iexplorer.exe file.swf"

thanks guys, I'm not exactly sure why I asked, but I thought I might use this sometime later :)

LoL

That link is the better way to do it as opposed to shelling out to IE. If you need HTML as well, you can just embed IE into the VB form.

Personally, I'd just suggest that you use something like Zinc from MDN or one of the other wrapper applications. They are superb.
