Embedding Flash Player in a C++ or Java application?

I would like to embed Flash Player directly inside a C++ or Java application.

I found an article that describes how to do this for C#: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/stock_history03.html

Unfortunately, I have no experience with C#, COM or ActiveX. I need someone to translate this code to C++, allowing me to embed the Flash Player into a Win32 Window. Ultimately I'd like to use this information to embed Flash into a Java application.

I am looking for three main functionalities:

  1. Ability to play a Flash movie
  2. Ability to receive events (such as mouse clicks)
  3. Ability to send events

Edit: I prefer an open-source solution if possible.

Solution

  • I don't know how to embed flash in C++, but Christopher Deckers (of SWTSwing fame) has developed an interesting hack which allows it to be embedded in Java. You can find more information in the Javalobby announcement thread.
