70872 - lack of windowless support for plugin (flash)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 44322

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    2001021508

It has to do with issues with the Netscape plugin architecture which Netscape
has consistently ignored since version 3. 

Netscape has simply never supported windowless plugins in any real way.  This
forces the plugin writer to rewrite the plugin for windowed mode.  (In fact I
have never even seen a plugin that uses windowless mode under Netscape)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Actual Results:
Expected Results: 

The issue has been made even worse with NS6... Netscape has broken some long
standing functionality between Flash and Javascript, functionality that many
people have come to depend on.

windowless plugin support issue is dupe of bug 56126 and bug 44322.
On the javascript issue, Mozilla/N6 by design does not support scripting of 4x
plugins.
