Hi Mohanbeela,

A flash file needs the appropriate environment to be built in and like for
any other file,  you need the right software to design such files. So, you
need to create flash files in the same envioronment and you can
however,access them from VB interface.

Using Flash MX, you can create a .fla file that contains your graphics and
Action Script Then you can convert this .fla to .swf file using the Export
Movie command under the File option in menu. The Flash files that you see on
web sites (which play inside your browser) are .swf files. .swf files are
capable of being played out by the Flash Player

To view the Flash .swf files in VB you have to add the Flash component to
the project.

This component has the ability to play Flash .swf files and is the core of
Flash integration with Visual Basic programs

HTH
