Flash does not work with 64-bit RCP application [message #646228]

I have a 64-bit RCP application that embeds an SWT browser that links to a
website that contains Flash. It looks like the browser that is used happens
to be 64-bit IE, which it seems Flash does not support. It prompts to
install the plugin, you say yes, then it does nothing. If I launch IE 64-bit
version outside of RCP, the same problem happens.

It's also a problem if you use Eclipse Helios 64-bit and open the browser
view.

Does anyone know a way to tell SWT what browser to use? Or to have it use
your default browser?

I've tried stuff here: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php, but had no luck.

Any ideas?

Hi Ken,

64-bit SWT will always use 64-bit IE for a Browser created with style
SWT.NONE. The only way to ensure that 32-bit IE is used is to use 32-bit
SWT/Eclipse, which is a valid thing to do on 64-bit Windows.
