How to display a flash (.swf) file into asp.net ?

Answer 1

I would consider using FlashEmbed, a JavaScript tool that you can use to embed Flash objects to you website.

It is simple to use and has many advantages:

• it's very simple: just use flashembed("flash10", "/swf/flash10.swf") for example, if you don't need anything special you don't have to study much.
• there a lots of demos on the site how to configure the tool
• jQuery support: flashembed is designed for for scripters in mind with polished programming API together with a support for jQuery selectors.
• JSON configuration: when supplying configuration for Flash objects the values can be complex JavaScript objects with arrays, strings, functions and other objects.
• Size: the plugin weights around 5 kb when minified.

If you like you could write an ASP.NET server control, which renders the HTML you'll need on that page:

1. Includes external script resource link using ScriptManager.RegisterScriptResource(...) (once per page)
2. Render the flashebmed script using ScriptManager.RegisterClientScript(...) (for ever y flash you want to embed on a page)
3. Write some useful properties like src, name etc.

Then, use the control in your pages this way for example:
