(Preferably with the designer, but I wouldn't mind adding it programmatically either.)

The functionality should be similar to any Word file's Window functionality.
Active window must be tick marked.
I am working on a project that is pretty much done, but I wanted to put the finishing touch on it.I have a shock wave flash object over most of my form, and I load shock wave files onto it so they are accessible from the main flash object.
