Flash Plug-Ins (SWF)

Flash Plug-Ins (SWF)

Not sure if you're all aware, but even though Connected does not officially support Flash, you'll find that you can still enjoy some SWF content as plug-ins.

The first requirement is you need Firefox with the Flash player installed on the server PC. Next, you need to find a SWF to embed in a connected plug-in file (CPI).

I've attached an example of one that points to a calculator SWF, but feel free to unzip the ZPI (change the extension to ZIP) and modify the CPI to point to the SWF of your choice.

When choosing a SWF, test it in Firefox first... if the SWF is usable with just the keyboard arrows and enter key (no mouse, space, tab), then there's a good chance it'll work as a plug-in with the remote control.

Please post links to any SWF's you get working, and ENJOY!
