Running flash .swf files in widget?

[ashukla]

Dear Everyone!
I want to run flash file .swf in my widget. At a moment I am using gnash for it.
But It is not working good.
There is a problem of resizing object as well as it cannot render object completely.

So any other way is available to run flash .swf files in widget.

Try using some freware flashPlayer(adobe or shockwave) as activeX - works good for me.

for Fedora 6 which is prefrable.
Sir! may u give any example?

Under X11, you could use XEmbed and QX11EmbedContainer to embed the proprietary flash player in a window.

WebKit might soon be a good choice too. Provided that it can run netscape (or some other) plugins...

I am using WebKit in my application but it is not opening flash files, however it opens html files. How to open flash files using webkit?

What I do for above this?

[wysota]

I don't feel qualified to answer the question. If WebKit doesn't support netscape (or other) plugins, then it won't play flash movies. Period. Hence the "provided" part in my previous post.

How to use this!
Can u give any example or link!

QAxWidget *flash("ShockWave Flash Object");
flash->dynamicCall("Movie(const QString&)", filename);
flash->dynamicCall("Play");

QAxWidget *flash("ShockWave Flash Object");
flash->dynamicCall("Movie(const QString&)", filename);
flash->dynamicCall("Play");

QAxWidget only runs on Windows OS. I want to ask problem using with Fedora 6.
Have u any alternative.

Qt Assistant!

It is very good documentation. Very good. When you want to know how to use a class, it should be the first place you look. It tells you all about QX11Embed classes.

[wysota]

But it doesn't tell you how to get a window id of a particular window from a 3rd party app

Dear Sir!
Tell some link, suggestions & any alternative to acheive goal!

This is the code which embeds webkit inside a widget. Only problem is plugins not loaded. there are qwebobjectplugin.cpp and qobjectpluginconnector.cpp files in API of webkit. But I don't know how to use these two files and classes inside it to enable plugin.

#include <qwebpage.h>
#include <qwebframe.h>
#include <qwebsettings.h>
.
.
.
QWebSettings settings = QWebSettings::global();
settings.setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled);
QWebSettings::setGlobal(settings);
QUrl url("http://www.yahoo.com");
page= new QWebPage(this);
page->open(url);
show();

#include <qwebpage.h>
#include <qwebframe.h>
#include <qwebsettings.h>
.
.
.
QWebSettings settings = QWebSettings::global();
settings.setAttribute(QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled);
QWebSettings::setGlobal(settings);
QUrl url("http://www.yahoo.com");
page= new QWebPage(this);
page->open(url);
show();

Kindly help if there is a way to include plugin. I can provide the code for qwebobjectplugin.cpp and qobjectpluginconnector.cpp .

[wysota]

The problem is not embedding WebKit into the app, but embedding a 3rd party player into WebKit or directly in your app. If you use native X calls to fetch the winId, it shouldn't be a problem. But you have to dig into Xlib to see how to get the id of a particular window which I doubt will be very simple.

there is api for inclusion of 3rd party plugin inside QtWebKIt. I am giving content of qwebobjectplugin.cpp . In this you can see that /webplugins folder is included where third party plugins library may be placed. but how to include this and use.

Dear Experts!
Kindly give me a contact address of WebKit developers!
Specially I want the contact/e-mail address of Jack belongs from London.
b/z he says that it can be possible when I am searching on google! but the link of file is not exists!
hoping an earlier response!
with regards!
