QT and Flash

sawerset · #1 28th August 2008, 20:14

I need to show Flash movie in QT window.
How it can be done? What QT widgets can be used for this?

There won't be a way to use Macromedia's Flash plugin with Qt4.4/Webkit, but hopefully with Qt4.5/Webkit.

PS. QT is QuickTime. You probably mean Qt.

Ofcourse I meaned Qt. And my program is running under Linux.

I think you can embed Gnash into your application.

Where documentation about gnash API and examples can be found.
I tried to search at gnashdevelop.org and where is no documentation for programmers.

Call gnash --help. You need to use the -x switch.

Qt Code:

void myWindow::startFlash()
{
    
    QProcess *qpr=new QProcess;
    char temp[256]={'\0'};
    sprintf(temp,"-x %ld -j 200 -k 200 %s",this->winId(),"/home/vitaliy/projects/qtTest/qtTest/opr04CTZ.swf");
    qDebug(temp);
    QStringList list(temp);
    
    qpr->start("gnash",list);
}

I tried to this code for showing flash.
But nothing is shown on my window. What I am doing wrong?

Qt Code:

QStringList args;
args << "-x" << "%ld" << "-j" << "200" ...;

I tried this but nothing changed.
Now my code is this.

Qt Code:

void myWindow::startFlash()
{
    
    QProcess *qpr=new QProcess;
    char temp[256]={'\0'};
    sprintf(temp,"%ld",(long)this>winId()); 
    QStringList list;
    list << "-x" <<  temp<< "-j" << "500"<<"-k"<<"500"<<"/home/vitaliy/projects/qtTest/qtTest/opr04CTZ.swf"; 
    qpr->start("gnash",list);
}

Does gnash start at all? Can you see it on the process list?

sawerset · #11 31st August 2008, 07:22

Yes I can see GTK-gnash in the process list.

Does it have proper arguments?
