FEATURES
--------

Limitations :
  - The plugin and the player use XShm extensions, so remote display is not possible.
  - Not all features in Flash < 4 implemented (but no crash on Flash 4 files).

Not functional :
  - No Morphing.
  - No vertical anti-aliasing.

SOUND SUPPORT
-------------

Limitations :
  - No sound envelop. So no fading or balancing effect.

But the main feature is here and sound can be enjoyed.

I recommend OSS drivers, but it is not required at all
(http://www.opensound.com)

If you have troubles with sound put the -DNOSOUND option
for compilation. Also do this for non-Linux Unix.

THE PLAYER
----------

The standalone player can simply control movie by
pressing Q to quit, P to pause, C to continue and
R to replay.
There is also the possibility to zoom in or out
and scroll using Keypad +/- and cursor keys, but
it is buggy on frozen images.

THE SCREEN SAVERS
-----------------

The standalone player can be run though xscreensaver. Modify
your .xscreensaver file to add swfplayer:
programs: swfplayer -root /home/olivier/Flash/Test/test.swf
(See xscreensaver doc for more details on Xscreensaver).


COMPILATION AND INSTALLATION
----------------------------

Just type:

./configure
make
make install

You can specify where the mozilla-plugin should be place by
using the '--with-plugin-dir' option.
