ActiveX help

[meester]

Swfkit can handle activeX.
But as non-educated programmer I have difficultys with the way to handle activeX.
I'm trying to use the scorch activeX from Sibelius to display a music score.
The only documentation I found was one to implement the activeX in internet explorer. It looks like this:

<object id="ScorchPlugin"
classid="clsid:A8F2B9BD-A6A0-486A-9744-18920D898429"
width="x"
height="y"
codebase="http://www.sibelius.com/download/sof...eXPlugin.cab">
<param name="src" value="file.sib">
<param name="type" value="application/x-sibelius-score">
<param name="scorch_minimum_version" value="2000">
<param name="scorch_preferred_version" value="2040">
<param name="scorch_shrink_limit" value="90">
<embed src="tree.sib"
scorch_minimum_version="2000"
scorch_preferred_version="2040"
scorch_shrink_limit="90"
width="x"
height="y"
type="application/x-sibelius-score"
codebase="http://www.sibelius.com/cgi/plugin.pl"
pluginspage="http://www.sibelius.com/cgi/plugin.pl">
</embed>
</object>

where x and y are the pixel dimensions of the Scorch window, and file.sib is the complete path to the Sibelius file (usually it will simply be e.g. file.sib as we recommend that the HTML and Sibelius files should live in the same directory).

How do I start to adapt this code to work in SWFkit?


( an example of a sib file can be found here http://www.dolmetsch.com/tree.sib

[SWFKit]

It seems that the activex doesn't work outside the web browser, so please embed a web browser control in your app and use the web browser to open a html page which will display your music file.

when i embed a browser,
will i then be able to control the activeX from within SWFkit, or am I then obliged to write the whole thing in html

Yes, you have to control the activex control using html.

We embeded the activex control in swfkit, vc, vb and only got a blank window.

So we think it cannot be accessed outside the web browser.
