Hi!
Well, I went on a cognitive sabbatical, and all heck broke loose.
I last compiled my program in November of 2009, then I moved on to other endeavors.
I have returned to make some code enhancements and my source code will not compile anymore. I have narrowed the problem down to a recent download of the latest flash10h.ocx. None of my programs that include FLASH (even the simple demo programs) now compile.
I went online to look for a fix, and the only one I found advised me to rename the flash*.ocx to flash.ocx and re-run regsvr32.
No dice.
If I remove the flash element, no problem saving and creating an executable. Add it (FLASH elements) back in, and when I try to save the file, I get the following error…
“System Error &H80004005 Unspecified Error”
Is there a new trick to this?
Environment:
Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 SP3 Build 2600
VB6 (SP4) Version 8862
SWF created in FLASH 8 (and earlier)
Latest Flash OCX (flash10h.ocx)
Since my original problem,
I have downloaded and ran the latest service pack, VB6 SP6 (not VB.NET).
I still get the exact same error.
The project has multiple forms (13), class modules (4), and code modules (six). Three of the forms have FLASH objects. I can make changes to any of the forms and modules, and I can run the program in debug mode within the VB environment. Everything works. I can even create an executable with the changes. Wehen I try to save changes to the forms or modules, they are saved without issue. UNLESS the form has a FLASH element on it. Somehow, an attempt to save changes to a form with a FLASH element causes the *.vbx file to disappear, and as a result, all of the images are wiped out. Since this is the resource file, that makes sense, but I don’t understand what is going on.
Curiouser and curiouser…
