Just to share with the other monks my e-mail answer:
-------------------------------------

To have a better control of the ActiveX control you can use the method GetOLE():

 
  my $flash = Wx::ActiveX::Flash->new( $parent_frame , -1 , wxDefaultP
+osition , wxDefaultSize );

  use Win32::OLE ;
  my $OLE = $flash->GetOLE() ;
 
  my $version = $OLE->Invoke('FlashVersion') ;
  ## or just:   my $version = $OLE->FlashVersion() ;
  
  print "$version\n" ;

Note that the code above is for wxPerl (Wx), and not Win32::GUI.

If you want to keep using Win32::GUI, take a look in the module AxWindow at:
http://perso.club-internet.fr/rocherl/Win32GUI.html
(I don't know why it's not in CPAN yet).

The module AxWindow make the same thing that Wx::ActiveX does for Wx.
