Embedding swf (Flash) file as a resource

How do I embed a swf (flash) file as a resource in my custom web control?

And, if thats possible, how would I access it when I am (presumably)
overriding the RenderContents method?

Thanks in advance,
JJ

Re: Embedding swf (Flash) file as a resource

These are the steps I've tried:

1. Adding the 'myFlashFile.swf" to the web control project, and setting its
property as an embedded resource;

2. Adding the following line to the AssemblyInfo.cs file:

[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("MyNamespace.myFlashFile.swf",
"application/x-shockwave-flash")]

3. Accessing the WebResource URL by way of this line in the RenderContents
method:

string flashUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(),
"MyNamespace.myFlashFile.swf").ToString();

A URL is produced, but one that is clearly not understood by the browser,
even though I write the url in the usual Flash Object Code.
Is it therefore possible to do this?

Re: Embedding swf (Flash) file as a resource

Hi JJ,

I've created following test and it's working on my side:

1) ClassLibrary1.Class1:

[assembly: WebResourceAttribute("ClassLibrary1.flash1.swf",
"application/x-shockwave-flash")]

namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public class Class1 : WebControl
{
protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
string template = @"";
writer.Write(string.Format(template,
Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(this.GetType(),
"ClassLibrary1.flash1.swf")));
}
}
}

2) Remember to add flash1.swf into the root folder of the class library and
configure its build action as "Embedded Resource"
