I don't know how Flash does things - I assumed that it uses native code to actually handle interaction rather than Javascript interaction - my personal experience of making scriptable NPAPI using NPPVpluginScriptableNPObject which don't do anything computationally intensive (i.e. should be trivially fast calls) has been significant round-trip times... I could put together a test-harness plugin if you'd like --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-extensions" group.
