+         in the browser. With some support added to the external
+         application, it's possible to force the external program to
+         use the internal window in the browser where ths plugin is
+         supposed to display. This enables one to then run the
+         standalone player and display it's output in the browser.

+         While this is not an optimal solution, it does enable one to

+         appears to be that the Flah movie being played doesn't get
+         any mouse or keyboard input. That may be a mozplugger
+         configuration issue though.
