Myth of Echelon Posted June 6, 2011 Posted June 6, 2011 I have creative a Flash App that functions as multiple social networking search engines and my friend wishes to use it as his background for fast access to these websites. Are .swf's supported as backgrounds on Windows 7? If so, how do I go about making this a reality? Quote
ford1001 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 i don't believe so, i may be wrong though, haven't used Windows 7 for about a month Quote
CHiLL Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I'm pretty sure only standard image formats can be used for Windows 7 backgrounds, such as JPG, BMP, PNG, etc. Quote
webdevuser Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Well, I'm sure that Windows 7 can not use flash as background, but Windows 7 gadget are coded using Html/Css, so MAYBE you can also include flash in gadgets. I will google it, and edit this topic when I have the answer. *Edit, I Confirm Flash can be used in Windows Vista/7 gadget. It seems that some functions may not always work, but the general concept of using flash in gadget is possible. Quote
