Great! The benefit of using a portable widget library such as wxWidgets as opposed to WTL is that if it can be tested on other platforms (that the other Gnash developers use) it will get more testing. A GUI that is one platform only will only be tested by a subset of us who use that platform. I would love to see us eliminate the GTK+-only GUI entirely, because if we develop using wxWidgets, when it's compiled on Linux/Unix, it actually uses GTK+ anyway (if you use wxGTK, otherwise wxX11 is also an option). I think on MacOS X, wxMac currently uses the Carbon API, as well. >> I would love it if you could work on the ActiveX/IE plugin.

Actually, my knowledge of the Gnash code itself is very limited. I've only mostly worked out the kinks to get Gnash building and keep it building on Win32 using MinGW/MSYS. I also started work on the npgnash NPAPI plugin for Firefox, but the Gnash core needs more work for that to be really usable/useful, yet. It currently can play a SWF movie, and then it crashes the browser when the Gnash VM tries to clean up. :-) I think between the two of us, we can make some good progress, though! -- Dossy Shiobara | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
