I have inserted a shockwave flash object (SWF) in an excel sheet. The object is a picture rotator or carousel.... when you are in design mode you could go to the properties of the object. there is a property called FRAMENUM this framenum tells what is the current picture in the carousel I need some way to Capture in real time the value of the property Framenum of the SWF. This could let me to use the carousel as a menu for my aplicction for example if I scroll to the picture number 7 which is the 7th shop of a mall .. the cell A1 could change to 7... which is the value that I need for a DESREF function that retrieves the data of the shop 7th shop of the list using a desref function... Please Help me !!!!
