Hi all! Last week some colleagues and I started a project arround Macromedia Flash. We want to extend Macromedia Flash Player functionalities giving it access to OS File System, DDBB connectivity, and lot more (only for desktop applications) :-) This has already been done but in a platform specific way (only for windows). On windows it's very easy so we can wrap flash player Activex from within python, java, c# or any other languange. But obviously this doesn't run on linux/mac machines :-( And our goal is to do this fully cross-platform :-)
To acomplish our project I've been looking for information on how mozilla wraps MM flash player plugin and I think the key is XPCOM and XPConnect, but I'm not sure... Do you think it's posible to wrap Macromedia XPCOM Flash Plugin inside a python or java application? (maybe using PyXPCOM) If so it would be amazing so we could implement Flash based applications with lots of extended features :-) On the other hand, the communication between python and Flash wouldn't be a problem so at least we can always use a socket. I'd thank a lot if you could give us a light on this! :-) I've read a lot arround xpcom, xconnect, plugins but there's such a lot of information that I don't know what to start with, and I don't even know if xpcom is the key for do this... Thanks a lot for your time!!
