Setting priority to Active X Container(swf)

[babyespades]

Hi guys,

Currently, I have a shockwave (swf) inside the Active X container. And I have it listens to keystroke using ActionScripts. But when I ran LabView, the swf file that is inside the Active X container is not able to read the keystroke until I clicked on it to give it the focus/priority. Is there anyway to set the priority to the active X container once it starts running?

And there another problem I encountered that I hope you guys could help me with. It related to the scaling of the swf file. The swf file have two scale option, 100% or ShowAll. Originally, I set the swf file scale to 100% to obtain the best graphic effect. However, once I place it into the Active X container. It auto sets it to showAll and it's uneditable. And there is no 100% scale option.

I really have no idea how to solve. As I just started labview few months ago, and even newer towards communication between Flash & Labview.

Hope you guys could help provide me with solution. Thanks alot.

If you change the ScaleMode property, you should find what you're looking for. Values from -1 to 3 are valid, I think, but I don't know what each is necessarily defined as. If I had to guess, this ActionScript doc on StageScaleMode are the descriptions.

If you share your VI with the associated SWF, you may get more help the first issue.

I couldn't really share the v.i here cause it a confidential company project I'm working on sorry.

I tried clicking on the ScaleMode property. But it just wouldn't budge. As though it fixed at 0.

I will try out the stage class that you mentioned, thanks for your help asbo

Btw I will try to produce a identical one for problem as soon as possible to show here but in the mean time if anyone know how to solve, please help me.

Thanks

Try using a property node, not the property browser. Worked for me.

As for your focus issue, controls (in general) have a KeyFocus property. That may work to give your SWF control focus at run-time.

Thanks dude!

You really save my day. Without your help, I would most probably spend weeks thinking how to solve it.
