    art blair - 2003-01-25

    First, I'm new to both java and flash. I downloaded
    the latest jar and created a simple html file
    that has
    <applet code="DrawSWF.class" archive="drawswf-1.2.6.jar" height=600 width=800></applet>
    and nothing else in the body. Mozilla loads the
    applet but stops with this error message:

    java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: DrawSWF (Unsupported major.minor version 48.0)

    But I've got j2sdk1.4.1_01 which is the latest java
    from sun so what's wrong?
    BTW, I'm on a mandrake 9.0 intel box.
    I really want to get this working since it looks like
    this is the only way to create swf files in linux.

      hi,

      though I'm not one of the developers of this nice piece of software, I think I know what your problem is:

      AFAIK, DrawSWF is no applet but just a plain standalone application.

      So the only way to start it is by using

      java -jar $JARFILENAME.

      you cannot (mis)use it as an applet ...

      hope that helped ;-)
