Things like Flash and similar do require some application level C or C++ programming, but I think they ultimately get wrapped with XUL to present to the Mozilla plugin hooks: For instance, here's the source code for the mplayer-mozilla plugin, which has both C++ and XUL components: http://mplayerplug-in.cvs.sourceforge.net/mplayerplug-in/ This requires, of course, an installation of mplayer separate from mozilla and the plugin. -- Brett ------------------------------------------------------------ "In the rhythm of music a secret is hidden; If I were to divulge it, it would overturn the world." -- Jelaleddin Rumi
