Hello Rob,

Exactly. And that's why I'm surprised that you're suggesting XML for a
configuration file.

Don't understand why you're talking about ActionScript - the GUI is
not related to the VM.
Hmm, I think you confused something. :)
The configuration file we're discussing is *completely* unrelated to
the movie. The movie may be some .swf file downloaded from the net and
*not* specifically designed for Gnash. However, for the player to work
correctly, some additional configuration is needed to support the
hardware. This is something the user has to do - just like he has to
configure it's X server.

I basically agree with you, but the FB GUI is not an extension - it's
a choice.

Fully agree! I'm happy you made this extension, as otherwise I would
have to do it :) I'm missing functions like rename(), though.
Using files is the most simple and effective way to talk to the rest
of an embedded system. As for compatibility, is there a way to detect
if the file I/O extension is available?
