Hi.

  • I have a ShockwaveFlash embeded in excel.
  • This SWF need 1 dynamic flashvar to run.
  • I need to set it just before flash file is loaded, so flash can run without problems.

Something like this.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
    ShockwaveFlash1.FlashVars = "DynamicData=123"
    ShockwaveFlash1.Play
End Sub

But it doesnt work.

Ideas?

PD: Macros was my first idea, any other solution could be better.
