Could you use ActiveX controls to achieve the effect you like?

[Wayne]

For example, you can use Shockwave Flash Object controls to load or
call some Flash motion pictures to achieve the effect you like!

Yes.

Just place an ActiveX container on the front panel, and right click to get the menu to place an object in the container.

Also note that ActiveX objects are asynchronous with LabVIEW operation, that is they will run even after the VI has stopped.

They may also run on opening the VI (ie: even before you have run the VI...)

Would someone be willing to make an example available of how to place a .swf file.

Maybe a zip file with a LV/CVI project in it?

I am not getting the answers that I need from the documentation. ActiveX controls are pretty foreign to me, at this point.

Hi Guys!

The KnowledgeBase linked below walks you through the steps of creating an ActiveX Object on your front panel to play Flash Media (.swf files).
