Flash

[Albert-Jan Pieter Nijburg]

Hi is there a way I can use flash in cefsharp without installing chrome?

Thanks

Yes. By default CefSharp can use Flash Plugin for Other Browsers (Firefox, Opera).

But there some problems with Flash:

1. Transparency doesn't work in WPF version 

2. Flash loaders can't work with files more than 999999 bytes.

Example code:

var settings = new CefSharp.Settings();
settings.AddPluginPath(@".\path\to\flash.dll");
CEF.Initialize(settings);

You can use either NPSWF32.dll (Adobe) or gcswf32.dll (Google). To see where these dlls reside on your system, access the "about:plugins" URL in chrome.

I've followed these steps to initialize the plugin, but if I try to relocate the dll to another location besides its default install (e.g. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash), the plugin fails to load.  It seems that CEF might be ignoring the new location specified in the settings.  Here's how I initialize:

            var settings = new CefSharp.Settings();

            settings.AddPluginPath(@"./NPSWF32.dll");

            

            CEF.Initialize(settings);

            BrowserSettings bSettings = new BrowserSettings();

            bSettings.PluginsDisabled = false;

            webView = new WebView("", bSettings);

Any thoughts?

My apologies. When using the full path to the plugin, I was able to load it just fine.  Must have been a relative path issue or the loader does not support relative paths.
