Re: [newbie] Embedding Flash OCX object
Thanks Kartic,
Don't know if i have understand everything, but i 'll try using your lights,
To integrate a flash movie using wx, here is a piece of code (the Flash.py
is auto-generated by makepy.py)
### testFlash.py
from wxPython.wx import *
import os
if wxPlatform == '__WXMSW__':
from wxPython.lib.activexwrapper import MakeActiveXClass
#import win32com.client.gencache

import flash
flashControl = flash
class FlashPanel(wxPanel):
def __init__(self, parent, flashFile):
wxPanel.__init__(self, parent, -1)
sizer = wxBoxSizer(wxVERTICAL)
ActiveXWrapper = MakeActiveXClass(flashControl.ShockwaveFlash)
self.Flash = ActiveXWrapper( self, -1)
self.Flash.Movie = os.path.join(os.getcwd(), flashFile)
self.Flash.Menu=False
self.Flash.OnFSCommand = self.OnFSCommand
sizer.Add(self.Flash, 1, wxEXPAND)
self.SetSizer(sizer)
self.SetAutoLayout(True)
EVT_WINDOW_DESTROY(self, self.OnDestroy)
def OnDestroy(self, evt):
if self.Flash:
self.Flash.Cleanup()
self.Flash = None

if command=="openFile":
self.openFile()

self.saveFile(*args)

dlg = wxFileDialog(self, "Choose", "", "", "*.*", wxOPEN)
if dlg.ShowModal()==wxID_OK:
filename = dlg.GetFilename()
dirname = dlg.GetDirectory()
f = open(os.path.join(dirname, filename), "r")
self.Flash.SetVariable("PyReply", f.read())
f.close()
dlg.Destroy()
def saveFile(self, text):
dlg = wxFileDialog(self, "Save As", "", "", "*.*",
wxSAVE|wxOVERWRITE_PROMPT)
if dlg.ShowModal()==wxID_OK:
filename = dlg.GetFilename()
dirname = dlg.GetDirectory()
f = open(os.path.join(dirname, filename), "w")
f.write(text)
f.close()
dlg.Destroy()
if __name__ == '__main__':
class FlashFrame(wxFrame):
def __init__(self):
wxFrame.__init__(self, None, -1, "PyFlash -- Simple
File Viewer",
size=(550, 400))
self.flashPanel = FlashPanel(self, "testFlash.swf")
app = wxPySimpleApp()

Re: [newbie] Embedding Flash OCX object
The Great 'Exeem' uttered these words on 4/30/2005 11:37 AM: Kartic, Thanks for your reply, I already use the wxPython to embbed my flash animation ### from wxPython.lib.activexwrapper import MakeActiveXClass ActiveXWrapper = MakeActiveXClass(flashActiveXLib.ShockwaveFlash, eventClass=None, eventObj=self) Flash = ActiveXWrapper( self, -1, style=wxSUNKEN_BORDER) It work fine and i can control my flash animation from Python without problem.. But the Wrapper need the flash.ock to be installed on the user system in order to work, and i would like to make an executable application that include the flash.ocx or load it on startup for users who doesn't have the flash player installed. I would like also to be able to load a flash animation from memory and not to load it from external file. Don't know if you understand me.. Take a look at http://www.flashplayercontrol.com/ .. I'd like such a solution for Python, don't know if i can use that dll from Python or make a module myself.. Anyway, thank a lot for your interest Dan Dan, Ah! I see what you are trying to do. While I don't have a working piece of code to share with you, I can give you a few ideas that you could consider: 1. Supply the Macromedia OCX with your app. Try to use the wxActivex class and if that fails, register your copy of the OCX. You can do this either using a batch file invoking regsvr32 or use Win32 to register. The flip side: The flash will be loaded from a file rather than memory. 2. Wrap the flashplayercontrol.com's DLL in an Activex control using VB and distribute your OCX. And then use wxActivex to access your OCX. 3. Use SWIG to generate Python bindings for the DLL. I have never done this and I am sure some of the more erudite members of the newsgroup can shed some light. 4. Call the supplied DLL using Ctypes. In this case, you can convert the example under the "Features" link of that site in DLL calls using Ctypes. Question: How will that integrate with wx? Hope that helped a bit.

Re: [newbie] Embedding Flash OCX object
The Great 'Exeem' uttered these words on 4/29/2005 2:11 PM: Hi All, I'm trying to find a way to embbed the flash.ocx object in a Windows Python application, I've successfully integrated a flash object with the ocx already installed on the system using the Activex Wrapper, but i would like to embbed it inside my application in order to distribute my application without the need for the user to install the flash player. It would like also to embbed the flash animation inside my application without loading it .. i mean directly from the memory. I've seen that it was possible in C++ or in Delphi, using the http://www.flashplayercontrol.com/ .. but don't know how to make it in Python. Any ideas are welcome Dan. Dan, wxPython has the capability to embed Flash inside a wxPython panel. It uses Macromedia's Flash ocx that is installed when installing flash player on Windows. And it is pretty nifty; take a look at the demo. From your message, it is appears you are using win32gui functions but I am unable to tell. So using Win32, I do not know how you can do what you are trying. But yeah, look into wxPython! Please let me know if you need more assistance.

[newbie] Embedding Flash OCX object
Hi All, I'm trying to find a way to embbed the flash.ocx object in a Windows Python application, I've successfully integrated a flash object with the ocx already installed on the system using the Activex Wrapper, but i would like to embbed it inside my application in order to distribute my application without the need for the user to install the flash player. It would like also to embbed the flash animation inside my application without loading it .. i mean directly from the memory. I've seen that it was possible in C++ or in Delphi, using the http://www.flashplayercontrol.com/ .. but don't know how to make it in Python. Any ideas are welcome Dan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
