Yes, it gives a pretty good starting point: the concept does work. And
it is very interesting to actually directly talk to the plugin API...
the mozilla way. :) I'm impressed by this brilliant idea!
We needed to embed Macromedia Flash into our application. It was easy
when we used Delphi, ActiveX flash (.ocx) and Windows. We started a
complete rewrite, to redesign our application suit, and wanted to go
cross-platform. Obviously ActiveX was not an option under Linux. We
also didn't want to maintain our own Flash Player (that is a mammoth
task) - we would rather just use what Macromedia (now Adobe) creates.
The only thing Macromedia created that was cross-platform is the
Mozilla Flash Plugin. Seeing that in is only a single .dll (windows)
or .so (linux) file, it would be easy to deploy as well. I started
researching the idea of using that dll/so file and what would be
involved. Obviously we didn't want to rewrite Mozilla in Object
Pascal! After a lot of research we ended up with the idea of MPP. A
panel that acts like a browser (supports the plugin API only) and
embeds a plugin.
