That is correct. I noted in a previous post that flash on really worked well in the main window for non-interactive flash movies. Since this application required some interactivity, the controls were created externally.

I see the video controls are outside the flash. I follow an example posted on the group (I think you posted) and I could insert a flash in the main window, but the interaction with the user were not too good.

This is my main.xml:

<view height="480" width="640"> <div id="flashcontainer" style="text-align: center;"></div> <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="640" height="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OL50ddCSJmo"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /></object> </view>

if you "compile" this example, try to slide the progress bar of the video... sometimes you can and sometimes you can´t... that´s why you put the controls outside the flash file?

The gadget I created for Showtime's show Weeds is now available. This gadget incorporates the use of a flash movie to playback video inside the main gadget window (not in the details view).
