Yes, using the Shockwave Flash object - see Embedding flash movies on userforms using the Shockwave Flash Object library.

Ok to lunch the swf... but i cannot intercept the click event on icon...

the original code is a vb6 code but i need to use in a vba userform:

Private Sub swfWelcome_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal args As String)
MsgBox "You clicked on: " & command
End Sub

You have set the EmbedMovie property of the ShockWaveFlash control to False, so the movie is linked to your hard disk. This means that it will not run on any other PC.

But even if I use the .swf that you attached earlier, it doesn't do anything. What do you want to do with the movie?

two question:
- how to not set the path c:\eccc... and use the movie from all
- i nedd to use the click event on one icon
similar:
if i click on one icon the msgbox("eccc.")

If you set the EmbedMovie property of the ShockWaveFlash control to True, the move specified in the Movie property will be embedded in the userform, so that other users can see it too.

I can't view the movie, so I have no idea what icon you mean, and therefore I can't answer your second question.

possible?
I use ver 2003 of excel and i see correct the animation(!?)...

In other case the click event in vb6 work in a vb6 project:

Private Sub swfWelcome_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal args As String)
MsgBox "You clicked on: " & command
End Sub

but the code:

Private Sub ShockwaveFlash1_FSCommand(ByVal command As String, ByVal args As String)
MsgBox "You clicked on: " & command
End Sub

not generate nothing if i click in one icon in movie!!!

Sorry, I have no idea. I wouldn't use a shockwave movie on a userform, it's buggy and you have no guarantee that it'll work on other PCs.

OK, that helped - I now see the icons rotating. But the ShockwaveFlash1_FSCommand doesn't do anything when I click on an icon. I don't have the slightest idea why, so I can't help you - sorry.

I *still* wouldn't use a shockwave movie on a userform, it's buggy and you have no guarantee that it'll work on other PCs.
