Topic: Load SWF from a website

I saw that someone made a new widget that loads an image from any server. Anyway someone could make one that loads an external swf file. I know the container one does but it has to be on the chumby drive..

Thanks

This would be perfect smile

Re: Load SWF from a website

The "Load Image from URL" widget in the Widget Laboratory  will load it but it took it a few seconds to correctly resize it (probably due to the size).

Re: Load SWF from a website

The swf loading is kinda a hidden feature as most of them not work correctly. Animated gifs are not supported in Flash 8/Flash lite so thats just not currently possible.

The first frame of an animated gif should load and display though.

jvc, I monitored its loading and I think your right, it takes awhile to resize because its so big.
What I though you meant was that the Chumby was having a hard time processing the big file, but now I see that its just downloading it..

This is fun..

You could just use the one that was resized for the chumby - "Screen Clean" in the Weird category.
