O.P. Embedding Flash
I've looked almost every where on the net for how to embed flash in javascript or jscript but have been unsuccessful.

Does anyone know how I can do this in a window generated by Messenger Plus! Live?

Would there be any way if you referenced to a dll or anything like that?

It doesn't really matter if it can't be done in a windows generated by Plus!.

RE: Embedding Flash
No you couldn't even create an ActiveXObject for it because it would be a control that is displayed.

O.P. Huh?  RE: Embedding Flash
All I really want is a blank window with a flash file embedded into it.

EDIT: I have an idea. would it be possible to basically embed IE into a window and to have the embedded IE playing a flash file?

If you're wondering why I want to do this, I'll tell you ;)

1. It'll be cool if you can make scripts to play flash games.
2. I wanna make a music player in flash that I can use instead of having to open another program to listen to music.

The browser control doesn't seem to be usable in scripts.

Should I try & find another control to use instead?

RE: Embedding Flash
I was using the ActiveX (FlashPlayer.FlashPlayer) to open flash movies, but you don't seem to be able to make it visible, even if a movie is started. You'd probably have to use some kind of version detection system to... too much work when people can just click a link and goto the website
