You can download the source code of this example here: swfscout_registration_free_in_asp_net2.zip

This example provides a sample code to demonstrate how to use SWF Scout library in ASP.NET 2 web-applications projects without registering SWFScout.dll file on the web-server (using registration-free mode, this sample is based on an example from Maze Computers )

Create a new web-site project in Visual Studio

Enter name of new web-site and click OK

Right-click on project in Solution Explorer and select "Add Reference" command in popup menu invoked:

Browse for "ASPManifestHelpers.dll" (you can find it in ZIP with sample code) and select it and click OK to add reference:

Then create folder named "SWFScout.assembly" by right-clicking on project in Solution Explorer and selecting "New Folder" command:

Type name of the folder "SWFScout.assembly" and click OK to create a folder

Now you should add the following files into created folder:

SWFScoutDemo.DLL - you can find it in SWF Scout Library installation folder
SWFScoutDemo.assembly.manifest - you can find it in SWF Scout Library Examples folder (Examples\ASP.NET (registration-free deployment)\)

To add files right-click on project in Solution Explorer and select "Add Existing Item" command:

File selection dialog will appear - select SWFScoutDemo.dll and SWFScoutDemo.assembly.manifest files (hold CTRL and click on each file to select) and click "Add" button to add files to the project

Now add webapp.manifest file (you can find it in ZIP with sample code) to the project: right-click on project in Solution Explorer and select "Add Existing Item..." command:

Now add webapp.manifest file to the project: right-click on project in Solution Explorer and select "Add Existing Item..." command:

File selection dialog will appear. Select webapp.manifest file and click "Add":

Start project by clicking "Start Debugging" button as shown below:

Visual Studio will suuggest to add new Web.config file. Answer Yes as shown below:

Close Internet Explorer window and switch back to Visual Studio

Web.config file will appear in the list of project files:

Double-click on web.config file

Visual Studio will open editor with Web.config file in it.

Add the lines after <system.web> line.

So you will see a code like on a screenshot below:

Now add reference to SWFScoutDemo.dll  file by doing the following: right-click on project name and select "Add Reference" command in right-click menu:

Browse to the SWF Scout installation folder (typically c:\program files\Bytescout SWF Scout\ ) and select SWFScoutDemo.dll file and click "OK" button to add reference.

Finally our web-site project is ready for coding SWF generation using SWF Scout library!

Double click on Default.aspx.cs file in Solution Explorer:

Editor window will appear with "Default.aspx.cs" file in it
A add line using SWFScout; and add code to generate SWF using SWFScout in "Page_Load" function as shown below:

        try

        {

            FlashMovie Movie = new FlashMovieClass();

            Movie.InitLibrary("demo", "demo");

            Movie.BeginMovie(0, 0, 640, 480, SWFSystemCoord.sscTwips, 12, 6);

            Movie.Compressed = true;

            Movie.GenerateInMemoryFile = true;

            // set background color to white

            Movie.SetBackgroundColor(255, 255, 255);

            // add font

            int Font = Movie.AddFont("Arial", 18, true, false, false, false, 0);

            // create and place text

            int Text = Movie.AddText("Hello, World!", 0, 0, 0, 255, Font, 0, 100, 250, 160);

            // place text into current depth

            Movie.PlaceText(Text, Movie.CurrentMaxDepth);

            // fade out text

            Movie.PLACE_FadeOut(0.5f);

            // add new shape

            int Shape = Movie.AddShape();

            // draw rectangle

            Movie.SHAPE_Rectangle(0, 140, 150, 285);

            // set solid fill for shape

            Movie.SHAPE_SetSolidColor(50, 255, 50, true, 255);

            // place shape into current depth

            Movie.PlaceShape(Shape, Movie.CurrentMaxDepth);

            // show 10 frames

            Movie.ShowFrame(10);

            // end movie generation

            Movie.EndMovie();

            // get size of generated in-memory SWF file

            int Size = Movie.BinaryImageSize;

            // create new buffer with size equal to generated SWF file

            byte[] buffer = new byte[Size + 1];

            // get in-memory swf file as byte stream

            Array MemoryImage = (Array)Movie.BinaryImage;

            // copy byte stream into buffer

            Array.Copy(MemoryImage, buffer, Size);

            // clear http output

            Response.Clear();

            // set the content type to SWF

            Response.ContentType = "application/x-shockwave-flash";

            // add content type header

            Response.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-shockwave-flash");

            // set the content disposition

            Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;filename=shapes.swf");

            // write the buffer with swf file to the output

            Response.BinaryWrite(buffer);

            Response.End();

        }

        catch (Exception ex)

        {

            if (!(ex is System.Threading.ThreadAbortException))

                System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);

        }

Press F5 to start web-site project and SWF file will be generated and you'll see SWF generated by your web-site project.

Generated SWF document file be displayed on the web page:
