Question

Is there a good way to add a .swf programatically to a panel on an asp.net page – ie: I know i could just insert the html tags:

ie:

<object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' data='yourflash.swf' width='' height=''> <param name='movie' value='yourflash.swf'> </object> 

But is there an existing .net or free FLASH component already that you just set the properties on, or do i need to create a custom web control myself (not preferred) so i dont have to continously do this?

Thank you.

FlashObject.cs:

namespace MyNamespace  {   using System.Web.UI;   public class FlashObject : Control  { public int Width  {get;set}    public int Height {get;set}    [UrlProperty] pubic string SourceUrl {get;set;}     protected override Render(HtmlWriter writer)     { writer.WriteLine( '<object type='application/x-shockwave-flash' '                        +' data='{0}' width='{1}' height='{2}'>\r\n'                        +'    <param name='movie' value='{0}'>\r\n</object>'                        ,ResolveUrl(SourceUrl)                        ,Width                        ,Height);     }  } } 

Web.config:

  <system.web>       <controls>        <add tagPrefix='my' namespace='MyNamespace' assembly='MyAssembly' />      </controls>   </system.web> 

MyPage.aspx:

 <my:FlashObject SourceUrl='~/yourflash.swf' runat='server' />
