GM flash player

Posted by mazimadu on Feb. 17, 2007, 10:18 p.m.

I a few may know, I am always talking about flash and how good it is. About 9 months back, I asked some guys at the GMG forum if there is a way to play flash with game maker and the reply was obvious, IMPOSSIBLE.

But 2 months ago I released the Kyle quest demo, that has flash cutscenes that open externally from the game.

Since the game is under development, I want to replace the method used (which was having the flash player load externally and close when finished) to having the swf file embedded in the game window using a DLL I found. this will be better than using tricks such as playing the thing at fullscreen to hide the flaws.

So far I have created the player and everything is working properly, the only problem is that I have forgotten now to assign a variable to the file in folder (sort of like linking). If anyone can help by suppling this simple line of code let me know.

When the Flash player is complete I will post it here as an example and use it in the completed Kyle game. Good wishes to everyone.
