[R] svg2swf - controlling the looping of flash files

[Yixuan Qiu]

Hi Paul,
One workaround for this problem is to manually edit the HTML that
contains the Flash animation, by adding a "loop" parameter in the
<embed> tag:

<embed width="480" height="480" name="plugin" loop="false" src="a.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">


This works for Firefox at least.



Best,
Yixuan
