SWF in Widget
Is it possible
Thursday, January 25, 2007 by jolhof | Discussion: Widget talk
As the title states: Is it possible to have a widget that runs swf file? and if so, how do you do it?
I am not talking about making an external link to a url, or html page, but implementing a swf within the widget or object itself!! I know it was discussed a few years ago, but DesktopX has come a long way and I am just curious if this feature is possible now.

Create an object and edit the script.
Use the Microsoft Web browser control
Add this script:
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(workFolder & "FileName.swf") = False Then
objFSO.CopyFile Object.Directory & "FileName.swf", workFolder & "FileName.swf"
End If
Control.Navigate2 Object.Directory & "FileName.swf"
End Sub
Go to the summary tab and add your swf asa custom file.
Done.
I'd grab another object as a background and then one more to do widget.close
Group everything and export.
