You may want to have a look at Haxe / Neko, and the related screenweaverHx. I believe you can extend it with c++ dlls but I'm far from an expert there so do your own research (The mailing list is full of helpful people), if so then you may save yourself a bunch of effort getting the basics working.
I'll have to leave it to others to comment on embedding the flash player in a c++ app, I've done it experimentally in .Net windows forms and c# (but I don't do c++ myself), heard it's possible to do on other platforms. For me, however, it's always been the difficulty of legally distributing the flash player that's stopped me using any solution other than director or AIR as a wrapper for flash player. If it's a concern to you, then you may want to satisfy yourself as to whether you can obtain an agreement from adobe to do so. ScreenWeaverHx works around this by downloading the firefox plug-in from adobes site if a suitable version is not found locally, I believe. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Jo Morano Sent: Sat 16/08/2008 21:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Is there a way to embed flex swf in C++ instead of AIR? Hi! I need C++ and flex to work together. Can I embed flex swf in C++ and do away with AIR?
