Flash 10 Control Problem with VB6

Hi,

I am having problems using Flash 10 control in VB6, anyone else having the
same problem?
The last version of flash which didnt had any problem with VB6 was
Flash10e.ocx it seems all version after that are having the same problem.

When we add a flash control to a form we cant save it, trying to save the
form generates an error.

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Basic
---------------------------
System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259).   Unspecified error
---------------------------
OK   Help
---------------------------

But if we open a old project which already have a flash control, there is no
problem saving or compiling the app as long as we don't open the form
containing the flash control; adding control, opening form with control or
changing property of existing control produces errors.

Does this happen in a new project?

If you have another language besides VB6 that can host controls, try it and
see if you see any problems, if so, contact Adobe.

yes, it happens with new projects, as soon as you
1. open the form with flash control and try to save it
2. add flash control and try to save it
3. change properties and try to save it
4. add some other control to the form having flash control and try to save
it

I tested with Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 32-bit and VB6 SP6. will test
with other IDE like VB.NET or RealBasic.

Downgrading to flash10e.ocx seems to fix the problem. Flash10f.ocx,
Flash10g.ocx, Flash10h.ocx, Flash10i.ocx (the latest) all having the same
problem. i tested all these controls.

Fortunately its not happening on runtime.

Start a new project, add the control to the toolbox, and before adding it to
Form1, open Object Browser(F2), and try to select each property, method, and
event to see their description(just press the down key all the way).
