Re: Java and Flash

>Could you tell us more about what you're specifically trying to do?


I am currently working on creating a cross-platform game (as cross-platform

and Java can be). The game will have various inner workings (AI,

networking, databasing, etc.) that would be impossible to implement in

Flash alone. So, as I mentioned in my previous post, I was happy to learn

that Flash Java Edition includes an API. Under closer examination of the

API, I learned that it could be fed by a standard Java stream, so it would

be possible to generate Flash animations on the fly through Java

(particularly in light of the new open-spec).


To make a long story short (too late for that), I essentially want to use

Flash's pre-built vector rendering/animation capabilities as the graphics

engine for my game. Java would allow for much more complex interactions

than the current events that Flash provides.


I hope I have better explained myself. If not, a demonstration site should

be up and functional in two weeks, and perhaps that will better demonstrate

what I have in mind.

Actually, it was a little of both. I was hoping to locate some interested

parties by seeing who replied, but I was also curious if it had been

attempted or talked about previously. I've found no mention of anyone using

the Flash API anywhere. But, I've just recently (a few days ago) entered

the Flash arena, so I might be wrong...
