Adobe AIR can't show Flash embedded in HTML?

Question

of all three choices (AIR+AJAX, +Flash, and +FLEX) I went on the AJAX route. But it seems that it can't show Flash embedded in HTML (using the traditional OBJECT tag).

Is it by design? or my fault?

Answer 1

I've found the culprit: my window is transparent. According to adobe, SWF and PDF won't be displayed if transparency is used.

Answer 2

I don't know much about Ajax but i do know the preferred method to embed flash into html is to use swfobject. have you tried that yet?

Answer 3

i think it's your fault. there are a number of air "web browsers" and they all can display flash just fine.

google for some. i found one here and it gives the source code as well
