I'm working on a cross-platform version of Screenweaver (SW4). All is
going pretty well but I'm having some questions about using the new
external interface features with the Netscape plugin:
If I'm not mistaken, the ActiveX plugin looks for an IHTMLDocument
interface on the host to determine how to do external interface
operations: if present than it will use JavaScript but if not, it will
switch to triggering the ActiveX's 'FlashCall' events, using XML.
Does the Netscape plugin folow a similar scheme? I haven't been able to
detect it but I hope I'm missing something.
I'm able to set things up using the np-runtime features from the NPAPI
but it implies I'll have to parse JavaScript in order to do something
usefull with the incoming ("evaluate") calls. I'd rather receive the
calls from the plug-in in XML format as with the ActiveX's 'FlashCall'
event. Is that somehow possible?
While on the EI subject: there seems to be a little problem with the
ExtInt samples installed by the Flash 8 trial. They have the
'allowScriptAccess' attribute/parameter set to 'sameDomain' in the
ExtInt.html file. That broke running the sample localy for me. Changing
the parameter to 'always' fixed the problem.
Cheers,
Edwin
