    because of escape character;

    string path = Application.StartupPath+"\flash.swf";

    path is actually equal to C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsFormsApplication1\bin\Debuglash.swf
    as you see ...\Debug + \f has converted to Debug

    to avoid escaping characters use @

    string path = Application.StartupPath+@"\flash.swf";

    now path is equal to C:\Users\username\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication1\WindowsFormsApplication1\bin\Debug\flash.swf

    prolly that’s what you want to get.
