The understated genius of Mario!
Mario has solved the Wiimote problem on the Flash Player in an ingenious way. He sets the scale of one SWF to the keycode captured in JavaScript and uses the resize event of the Stage to capture this value and pass it to the actual movie using LocalConnection. Rock on, as John would say!

Read Mario's post on the subject.
Note: Some of the issues that I mentioned earlier are still present so the ideal solution, of course, would be for Nintendo to implement these key events natively in the Flash Player.

You may want to also keep an eye on a new project ive started called Flii which tackles the other end - i.e fully integrating the wiimote into flash movies running on a mac/pc - early days as yet - but its working as proof of concept . http://www.freesome.com/node/220

Pete: Your project looks very cool. It’s going to make developing apps for the Wii much easier. Best of luck!

Hi Roy,
No tutorial that I’m aware of at the moment. I guess we’re all too busy playing with it to write about it!
I agree it would be very useful for people starting out.
I’m going to be talking about this at FITC if you’re attending — I should have materials for it by then.

Anyone having trouble with Flash and the new Opera for Wii release? I’m trying to disable the D-Pad scrolling on the Wii, because while I can capture the D-Pad events, the Up and Down keys bubble up to the browser level and scroll the screen. Or maybe there’s a way to author the HTML/Flash so that it sits in the screen and doesn’t require scrolling? Appreciate any thoughts.
