Hi all!

In past I did an ActiveX control to render 3D graphics, but as an activex 
this works only in IExplorer. Now I want to move to gecko. I tried the 
plugin to host activex controls but I'm having issues when I try to catch 
control's internally triggered events.

I'm thinking that problem is with activex/plugin intercomunicacion. I did 
the following test using flash. I think if flash works, my control should 
also.

1. I installed Flash plugin in my custom Mozilla build . I created a flash 
movie that triggers and FSCommand (Macromedia way to send messages to host 
aplication. This is detectable using javascript). When I press a flash 
button, I can get an alert saying "button pressed". Nice.

2. Ok, I removed flash plugin and installed the plugin to host activex 
controls (http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm 
<http://www.iol.ie/%7Elocka/mozilla/plugin.htm>). I tested installation and 
is OK: I can see activex controls like Mediaplayer. I loaded the same page 
used in step 1 to see my flash  test and it's rendered, but if I press the 
button the alert isn't displayed. Not nice!  :(

My questions:

- It should be supported by default? (maybe I have to put and extra 
paremeter to get it working).  Or is definitively unsupported?
- Do you think it's posible to get this working with some tweaking? (maybe 
arquitecture doesn't allow any interconection...for instance.. :-S)

Well, thanks in advance

Francisco
