FlashWindow (was e: PDFWindow)

Using the same approach as PDFWindow, I managed to create a wrapper for FlashWindow.  Unlike PDFWindow, this one actually works.  However, layoutEditor doesn't recognize it and screws up.  How do I added it to layoutEditor.

Here's the wrapper code, follow by test sample program:
