Problem compling rr with latest source code - Page 2

Sweet05 · 07-01-2006, 03:01 PM

For all those who search in the future I have figured out why the error mentioned in this thread occurs as I was getting the same error.

It has nothing to do with the "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" as suggested above it is acctually from (in my case any way) a reference to "Missing: Microsoft Direct Speech Synthesis" (see image in post #3 note the word "Missing" is not present there and it was on my system hence the errors) for a quick fix google "XVoice.dll" and download and extract the file to your "Windows\System" folder there is no need to register the dll just extract it there. To fix it propperly go to the download section of the Microsoft web site and download the Direct Speech SDK.

Unfortunatilly I still can not compile the source because I am getting an error with the flash control now. (Before you ask yes I have updated my flash) when it gets to the line:

'Resize Flash Object to Match Window Size
SF.Width = UserControl.Width

It tells me variable not defined. I will let you know if I get past this new error. Isn't programing soooooooooooo much fun

EDIT: NOTE PLEASE I am working with the 05-02-06 source.

ummm, that's an OBJECT -- check that the Flash.ctl file has the SF object in it (should be like a transparent label) -- if you got an error opening the project before and saved it, the object may have been deleted/replaced by VB.

Thanks for the reply guino. I downloaded the 06-03-06 source yesterday and it is still doing the same thing. I didn't save anything it was a clean unzip and when I double click on the flash.ctl there is a transparent object selected. It generates a flash.log: (Line 20: Cannot load control SF.) and a frmSkin.log (Line 19: Cannot load control SF.) when I compile and then gives the error I mentioned.

what version of flash do you have installed ? can you run the binary of RR in the same machine ? does it work ?? seems like your flash install is shot..

Flash 9 has got some big issues from what I can tell right now.

I have "Macromedia Flash Player 8" and "Macromedia Shockwave Player 10.1.3.18" installed. I sould be able to open just the control under VB6 and when I do I get this log generated:

Line 20: Class ShockwaveFlashObjectsCtl.ShockwaveFlash of control SF was not a loaded control class.

VB6 will still open with just the control so I double click the control and get this new log:

Line 28: The property name _cx in SF is invalid.
Line 29: The property name _cy in SF is invalid.
Line 30: The property name FlashVars in SF is invalid.
Line 31: The property name Movie in SF is invalid.
Line 32: The property name Src in SF is invalid.
Line 33: The property name WMode in SF is invalid.
Line 34: The property name Play in SF is invalid.
Line 35: The property name Loop in SF is invalid.
Line 36: The property name Quality in SF is invalid.
Line 37: The property name SAlign in SF is invalid.
Line 38: The property name Menu in SF is invalid.
Line 39: The property name Base in SF is invalid.
Line 40: The property name AllowScriptAccess in SF is invalid.
Line 41: The property name Scale in SF is invalid.
Line 42: The property name DeviceFont in SF is invalid.
Line 43: The property name EmbedMovie in SF is invalid.
Line 44: The property name BGColor in SF is invalid.
Line 45: The property name SWRemote in SF is invalid.
Line 46: The property name MovieData in SF is invalid.
Line 47: The property name SeamlessTabbing in SF is invalid.

I am assuming that something on my system is phuct I have never been able to play flash well. It plays but full flash skins are real slow and choppy.

Below is a quick screen grab of the IDE. The control on the left in the controls tool bar that looks like a piece of blank paper near the bottom says "ShockwaveFlash" if this should not be there it may be causing the problems? I guess I will have to do a harddrive wipe and clean install.

Try following the first post of the Flash FAQ (I've updated it this morning), then unzip the flash.ctl file from RR's sources over the one you have and try again -- I'm suspecting there's something related to the latest versions of flash. If you have VNC/PCAnywhere etc, I can try to help you out directly.

I got it to compile thanks for all you help. I uninstalled both flash player and shockwave then downloaded the new flash.zip and registered it. I never did reinstall either the player or the shockwave but everything works just as before except now I can compile the source.
