Integrating Adobe Flash with application

nicky j

Hello,

I am wondering how I can integrate Adobe Flash into my web browser. I was surfing YouTube and I noticed that some of the videos would play (HTML5 vids I think), while others required Adobe Flash. How can I integrate Flash into my web browser so that I can interact with flash content?

Thanks!

QtWebKit handles the Adobe Flash content if you have flash plugin installed. What other integration do you look for?

So simply installing Adobe Flash plugin in my computer will allow the QWebView to handle flash content?

As far as I know it will. I had only one problem: the webkit built with non-default struct member alignment doesn't work with the flash, but I hope you can use default alignment.

what do you mean by default alignment?

Ok, thanks for the education! How can opt to use default alignment for my web view?

I understand that you didn't change it intentionally (using for example /zp switch into MS compiler or #pragma pack) so I'm sure you use the default already.

Ok so I have the flash plugin on my computer (should i use the Chrome version?). It doesn't seem to have any effect.

Have you tried this?
@QWebSettings *settings = QWebSettings::globalSettings();
settings->setAttribute (QWebSettings::PluginsEnabled, true);@

Ok so it looks like the flash plugin has to be located in a certain directory. Which one?
