Re: QTJ support - platforms & Flash

there are ways to do complete interaction between your flash and java via
qtjava. you can control the flash but it requires some knowledge of how qt
interacts with flashmedia. the simplest way deals with setting variables in
your flash movie. you can also capture output from flash/the mov using an
ActionFilter.

using qt6 you are compatible with flash 5 and under.
