I doubt you can get PyGame to work this way - at least, not without some significant hacking around in the source - since PyGame relies on the underlying SDL library, and from my experience with it, I can't see it playing well with a browser whatsoever. I think SDL would have to acquire a new backend to translate input to the plugin into their event structure, and would require some way of creating an appropriate video mode that can draw to a browser's window, etc. Java applets and Flash are built for this purpose whereas PyGame is built on a technology that was designed for programs that have their own window and tend to capture all the OS's input. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
