[webkit-dev] Notifying a plugin it is in the background?

[Sriram.Yadavalli at nokia.com]

Hi,

Plugins get focus events from Webkit's plug-in implementation.  After
getting the focus lost event, the flash player may choose to suspend
playing flash content.  On the Mac port, I think the event is
loseFocusEvent.  This is called via NPP_HandleEvent (part of NPAPI).

Regards
Sriram
