Hi
I wanted to display a pdf file directly within a help page using the
<object> tag with type "application/pdf". When i am using the internal
browser, this does not work. If i configure the help system to always use an
external browser (IE in my case) it works perfectly. The the problem i
recognized with flash animation.

Is there a way to configure the internal browser to be able to handle
<object> tag for different mime types properly?

thanks in advance for information

Hi,

If this works for you in stand-alone IE then it should work in IE
embedded in the Browser control as well. You mention "application/pdf"
but then later specify flash. Which one is it?

Are you using 32- or 64-bit eclipse/swt? If it's 64-bit then my guess
is that you have the 32-bit pdf/flash plugin installed, which is not
compatible with 64-bit embedded IE.

If this is not the problem then can you provide the subset of lines from
your html file that are attempting to embed the pdf/flash content?
