Hi - I’ve been reading that Apple Widgets are basically just html files, and that made me wonder if it would be possible to put my flash animations into widgets. I’ve got this cool kaleidoscope thingy (Flash 8 swf) that would make a great widget, but I don’t really even know where to begin making it happen - any ideas?

Thank you!!
