Hello, I'd like to make an 'autologin' app between my vb.net app and a swf online game.

How could I interract those 2?

The login sequence in the swf file is this:

private function login(event:MouseEvent)
       {
           if (this.m.dropdown.length > 0)
           {
               Main.userName = this.m.nameBox.text;
               Main.userPass = this.m.passBox.text;
               Main.remember = this.m.rememberMe_chk.selected;
               Main.server = this.m.dropdown.selectedItem.server;

           }
           return;
       }// end function

Thanks!

Have a look at this: Integration Flash with VB[^]

Would also suggest you to go through these CP articles (though they are in C#, would give you more idea):
Sending Data from a Flash Movie to the Hosting C# Application[^]
Fun with C# and the Flash Player 8 External API[^]

Similar discussion: vb.net - Passing data/variable from a Visual Basic form to a Flash Object[^]

BTW, why flash? It's out of support now and dead. Try other platforms, would suggest HTML5.

Thanks, I went through all of these, non of them was helpful...

Why flash, because it's an old game, and for me it is an old project left over, and I'm trying now to accomplish it. Thanks!

You were looking for communication between the two and the articles do share so.

All I want is to send data from vb, to swf, like so:
- send 'stringuser' to nameBox.text
- send 'stringpwd' to passBox.text
- simulate 'login' button

And this does not help: https://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~saul/vb_examples/tutorial12/index.html

For variable assignment: Simply use the SetVariable method of the Shockwave Player:

xWin.SetVariable "stringuser", nameBox.Text
xWin.SetVariable "stringpwd", passBox.Text

then invoke a remote method == simulate button click.
