Hi,

dose any one know how i can display this http://www.nasa.gov/flash/150644main_countdown.swf in a small window on my desktop without needing firefox open.

i have looked around to see if there any sidebar plugings for vista or yahoo widgets but couldn't find any.

You would think nasa would have a plugin in this day and age.

they can get a probe to mars but don't have a plugin for vista for the shuttle countdown.

There was a way to do this in XP, it was called Active Desktop. But they've removed it in Vista.

check this out.

i give that a try and it dosen't like it :confused:

is there a player that will play swf without any buttons, just a window ?

Press 1, using Media Player Classic. You can get it to look quite compact.

thanks that will do just fine, i did try samurise but my belkin ups software didn't like samurise at all.
