How to access Flash ExternalInterface from QWebView?

Question

Is it possible to access Flash's ExternalInterface from QWebView? If so, how can it be done?

Answer 1

You could try accessing it via executing JavaScript in the page.

To run JavaScript on the page use QWebFrame::evaluateJavaScript, for example:

QWebView* webView;
// ...
QString jsQuery("document.getElementById(\"flashobj\").flashFunc(1);");
QVariant result = webView->page()->mainFrame()->evaluateJavaScript(jsQuery);

Note: I've not tested this code, or even tried accessing Flash before via QtWebKit so this may not work for Flash, although it does work for JavaScript objects.
