[webkit-dev] how to implement the flash block for webkit on linux?

[Suk Zhong]

Hi Julien:

       Thanks your reponse. After your tips  I think using xbl in webkit
can't implement the flash block now.

       After some discuss, i find one simple way to implement the flash
block. the main idea is overwrite FrameLoaderClientQt::createPlugin to
replace its src parameter to another small customed swf source and pass the
original src parameter  to the customed swf which will control use control
to play. When user click the play button in the customed swf, it resets the
embed object's src parameter back to original src parameter through
actionscript etc.

     This's my current idea,but don't implement successfully now, i maybe
give a try.

Best Regards.

Suk
