I want in my game to insert “Flash” animations so it can be more attractive, and also if it Is possible some kind of “Flash procedures” with set parameters which I will call them from my Delphi program for example with the run function.

Please note that this forum is not intended to support the Delphi programming language; ChiefDelphi is the name of the high school robotics team that operates this forum. But since you asked, I'll try to answer.

Delphi 6 (and other versions) allow you to embed ActiveX controls (.ocx files) in a project. It's been a while since I've used Delphi, but I believe this option is in one of the drop-down menus as "Insert ActiveX Component" or something like that.

It will bring up a list of ActiveX controls registered on your system, and allow you to choose one and insert it into a form. If the ActiveX Flash player is registered, it will be on the list; if not, you'll need to look up how to use regsvr32 to register it.

Once the ActiveX control is on the form, you'll need to set its parameters to point to the .swx file containing your Flash animation.

Aside: Accidentally misdirected questions about the Pascal-based Borland Delphi programming language/IDE used to be more common in ChiefDelphi, but since the language is seeing very little use nowadays, they've diminished.
