How to include flashfiles in the frontpanel.Ttried using activex but i am not able to locate macromedia flash.Should i write something in the registry?

Hi muks,

No need to change anything in the registry.

You will need to find the Macromedia Flash ActiveX file on your computer and use ActiveX functions in LabVIEW.  The link explains how to do this.

Also have a look at these other links:

Thanx a lot joe.Also can you tell me what to do if the object is not listed.I am very sure i have installed flash properly.

You may have to search in the list of ActiveX classes for the one appropriate for you.  It may be different from the ones in the link if you have a different version.

Hi muks,

If Shockwave Flash Object is not an option, generally it is because the ActiveX files are not loaded correctly.  If you browse to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash (assuming you are running Windows XP), do you see a file with a .ocx extension?  You can register that ActiveX control through the command prompt with the command regsvr32 "Path_to_ActiveX_control" where Path_to_ActiveX_control is the path to the .ocx file.
