It is very nice that we can now view webpages with the use of webkit. But unfortunately we can't watch any flash movies in these webpages. Is that a way to watch flash movies of will this be implemented in future versions of Qt?

See my reply to that question at http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/03/05/webkit-demobrowser/#comments We have not written yet for loading and running Netscape plugins in WebKit. So itâs not possible to load Adobe Flash into the stock QtWebKit. That doesnât mean Flash and other plugins arenât possible. There are alternatives: 1) you could write your own nsplugin loader if you canât wait for ours 2) you can use a different Flash plugin than Adobeâs (one of the open source ones that could be modified to fit into QtWebKit) -- [ signature omitted ]

On Windows you can do that easily using the Flash ActiveX plugin. On other platforms, AFAIK there is no easy way to do that. I started an implementation of the Netscape plugin API about 8 months ago but put that on hold when Zack Rusin showed screenshots of a Flash movie on a Qt Window on Linux in his blog at Trolltech Labs. Unfortunately, that code is not available and that experiment seems to be on hold at Trolltech, too. -- [ signature omitted ]
