• Property Version As String: returns string with version of the SDK;

• Property RegistrationName As String: set this property to your registration name when using FULL version of the SDK;

• Property RegistrationKey As String: set this property to your serial key when using FULL version of the SDK;

• Method SetLogFile(fileName As String): sets filename for the log to write the conversion log;

• INPUT AND OUTPUT

• Property InputSWFFileName As String: sets input .SWF flash movie filename. You can also set URL (for example: http://bytescout.com/demo/swfscout_VideoSample.swf )

• SWF TO IMAGE METHODS AND PROPERTIES

• Method ConvertToPNG(fileName As String): converts given frame (see .StartFrame) from input SWF (see .InputSWFFileName) into PNG image file.

  If you set filename to "" (empty string) then SDK saves output BMP into .BinaryImage() property (as an array of bytes);

  To convert into PNG with transparency set .RGBAMode property to TRUE before setting input SWF filename through .InputSWFFileName;

• Method ConvertToBMP(fileName As String): converts given frame (see .StartFrame) from input SWF (see .InputSWFFileName) into BMP image file.

  If you set filename to "" (empty string) then SDK saves output BMP into .BinaryImage() property (as an array of bytes);

  To convert into PNG with transparency set .RGBAMode property to TRUE before setting input SWF filename through .InputSWFFileName;

• Method ConvertAllToBMP(folderName As String): converts set of frames (from .StartFrame to .StopFrame) from input SWF (see .InputSWFFileName) into a set of BMP image files in the given folder path.

• Property BinaryImage As OLE_VARIANT: returns output image as array of bytes.

  IMPORTANT: Run .ConvertToBMP or .ConvertToPNG method before!;

• Property BinaryImageSize As long: returns size of output bytes array of output PNG or BMP image (see .BinaryImage property).

  IMPORTANT: Run .ConvertToBMP or .ConvertToPNG method before!;

• SWF TO VIDEO METHODS AND PROPERTIES

• Property SWFConversionMode As SWFConversionModeType: sets conversion mode (default is SWFAnimation = 0).

  Available values:

  • SWFAnimation = 0 (default): converts SWF to video in frame-by-frame mode. Works OK for SWF animations without sound and live or remote data. NO SOUNDin this mode (but you can set WAV or MP3 sound track from file using .ExternalAudioTrackFromFileName property).

  • SWFWithLiveData = 1: converts SWF to video in real-time mode. To convert with sound in this mode please make sure .SoundRecordingEnabled = True.

• Property ConversionTimeOut As Long: sets conversion timeout in milliseconds. Default value is 0 (zero) and the SDK tries to determine the flash movie length using number of frames in the source flash movie. If you need to convert movie with dynamic data (video, xml, images etc) then you need to use this property and set the conversion timeout.

• Property UseConversionTimeoutFor1FrameSWFOnly As Boolean: set to True to enable ConversionTimeout for 1 frame SWF flash movies only;

• Method Run: runs the conversion and exits immediately (you should call the .Stop() method to stop the conversion later);

• Method RunAndWait: method runs the conversion and waits until the conversion is done;

• Property IsRunning: returns the status of conversion: True if conversion is running, False if the conversion is not running;

• Method Stop: stops the conversion (if the conversion has been started with .Run() method);

• Property CurrentVideoCodec As Long: read or write the index of the currently selected AVI codec in the list of available video codecs;

• Property CurrentVideoCodecName As String: reads or writes current video codec name. If you want to set current video codec by its name (or part of the name, say, DivX) then you should use this property;

• Property WMVVideoCodecsCount AS Long: returns number of available WMV video codecs installed on the current computer;

• Method GetWMVVideoCodecName(Index As Long): returns the name of the WMV video codec by its index in the available video codecs list;

• Property FPS As Float: read write FPS (frames per second) for the output video;

• Method ShowVideoCodecSettingsDialog(OLE_HANDLE parent) As HRESULT: shows video codec settings dialog (for the currently selected AVI video codec);

• INPUT SWF PROPERTIES

• Property RGBAMode As Bool: enables RGBA (32-bit video with transparency) mode for output video. IMPORTANT: if you need to use 32-bit mode you should set .RGBAMode = True BEFORE setting .InputSWFFileName property!;

• Property FrameCount As Long: returns number of frames in the swf flash movie loaded previously with .InputSWFFileName property;

• Property BackgroundColor As String: read-write background color for input SWF flash movie in the RRGGBB form. Set to an empty string to use default background color;
