Control WMP with AS3

[Snapz]

In as2 you need wrapper classes to control wmp plugin

how about AS3 ? do i need Embed the dll file ?
How do i know what AS3 code can be used with WMP dll ?

[SWFKit]

You don't need to embed any dll, because windows media player is a pre-installed component.

In as3, you only need to call it as an activex control.

Ive just started with AS3 and i have been searching for any clues how to do that... with not so much of luck

could you possibly post a little example how i could call wmp as activex...

[SWFKit]

Since in as3 you don't need a wrapper class for an activex, you can call it just as in ffish script - first create the activex control with Global.createControl method, which returns an object with properties, "activex" and "window". The "activex" represents the dispatch interface of wmp, and thus can be used to call wmp methods.

import SWFKit.*;

var wmpControl = Global.createControl("WMPlayer.OCX.7", 0, 0, 200, 200, null, null);
var wmp:ActiveXObject = null;
if (wmpControl != null) {
	wmp = wmpControl.activex;
	wmp.url = 'c:\\test\\test.avi';
}
