Does Game Dev Tycoon support SWF files(or Flash) at all?

I’ve come to embed a swf file, but ingame, it doesn’t appear. I don’t know if GDT has flash built-in.
This code is inside a

tag. 
<embed wmode="direct" src="http://www.xatech.com/web_gear/chat/chat.swf" quality="high" width="540" height="405" name="chat" FlashVars="id=210377323" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://xat.com/update_flash.php" /><br><small><a target="_BLANK" href="http://xat.com/web_gear/chat/go_large.php?id=210377323">Go Large!</a></small><br>

@firechaos i maybe wrong, but from what i’m reading about node-webkit you need a plugin or something like that, i am not 100% sure though.

If GDT doesn’t support Flash, it’s okay. No need to open an entire issue

Why’s that? Just curious.

This should be incredibly obvious, but I’ll explain.

To load Flash Player, you will need the browser to tell Flash Player what file to load and where to load it. This is a lot more advanced than it sounds, because it would have to be embedded in the web page somehow. This is why you need a plugin, which handles all this for the browser. There are no plugins in node-webkit, thus no Flash Player.

Thanks for the explanation. I have found another way to do what I wanted.
